1 CENTRAL LIBRARY NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY TIRUCHIRAPPALLI TAMIL NADU-62001 1 i CENTRAL LIBRARY CIRCULATION PROCEDURE Books and other publications can be checked out from the circulation counter. The barrowing rights of various members are tabled with lending period respectively. Books can be called back during the loan period, if there is demand from another user. Consecutive renewals of any particular copy of a bound journal by the same borrower over a long period of time may not be allowed. However, a book may be re- issued to a borrower if there is no demand for it from other members. The library generally issues overdue notices, but failure to receive such a notice is not sufficient reason for non-return of overdue books or journals etc. Additionally, through Book Bank Service SC, ST, Scholarship, and rank holder students are eligible for borrowing 5 books per semester over and above the listed eligibility. Member Type Number of books can Lending Period barrowed UG/ PG Students 6 30 Days PhD, MS & Research Scholars 6 30 Days Faculty 10 180 Days Temp Faculty and PDF 8 180 Days Group A Staff 5 180 Days Staff 4 180 Days External Member/ Alumni 2 30 Days Borrowing Rules: 1. The reader should check the books thoroughly for missing pages, chapters, etc while getting them issued. 2. The overdue fine of Rs.1.00 will be charged per day after the due date for the books. 3.

John Mccarthy
JOHN MCCARTHY: the uncommon logician of common sense Excerpt from Out of their Minds: the lives and discoveries of 15 great computer scientists by Dennis Shasha and Cathy Lazere, Copernicus Press August 23, 2004 If you want the computer to have general intelligence, the outer structure has to be common sense knowledge and reasoning. — John McCarthy When a five-year old receives a plastic toy car, she soon pushes it and beeps the horn. She realizes that she shouldn’t roll it on the dining room table or bounce it on the floor or land it on her little brother’s head. When she returns from school, she expects to find her car in more or less the same place she last put it, because she put it outside her baby brother’s reach. The reasoning is so simple that any five-year old child can understand it, yet most computers can’t. Part of the computer’s problem has to do with its lack of knowledge about day-to-day social conventions that the five-year old has learned from her parents, such as don’t scratch the furniture and don’t injure little brothers. Another part of the problem has to do with a computer’s inability to reason as we do daily, a type of reasoning that’s foreign to conventional logic and therefore to the thinking of the average computer programmer. Conventional logic uses a form of reasoning known as deduction. Deduction permits us to conclude from statements such as “All unemployed actors are waiters, ” and “ Sebastian is an unemployed actor,” the new statement that “Sebastian is a waiter.” The main virtue of deduction is that it is “sound” — if the premises hold, then so will the conclusions. -
