LOAN PROCEDURES
Library information resources are loaned to members according to the following rules:
a) Loan and return transactions are carried out by authorized personnel or through the loan-return device. Transactions for printed information resources with attachments and those already reserved cannot be processed through the loan-return device.
b) Individuals borrowing library information resources are obligated to use them carefully and return them at the end of the loan period.
c) Members must present their university ID cards when borrowing information resources.
d) Borrowing and loan extensions cannot be made using another member's ID card.
e) The number and loan periods for information resources that members can borrow are determined by the Library Advisory Board.
f) Members can make reservations through the automation program using their own user accounts. Reservations are valid for 3 days; if not borrowed within this period, they expire.
g) Loan extensions can be processed through the automation program starting 5 days before the return date. Books past their due date and information resources reserved by another member cannot have their loan period extended.
h) Reserved information resources cannot be returned using the loan-return device; they can only be returned at the unit responsible for loan-returns during working hours. If reserved information resources cannot be returned after working hours due to the absence of a staff member to process the return, no late fee will be applied, provided the return is completed on the following working day.
i) Users with overdue library information resources cannot borrow new resources or extend their loan period without returning the overdue resource and paying the late fee.
j) The library reserves the right to request the return of borrowed information resources without waiting for the due date if deemed necessary. Members must return the requested resource to the library within 3 days at the latest. Members who do not return the resource within the specified period will have their borrowing rights suspended for 1 month.
k) Members will automatically receive a warning email from the Library Automation System 5 days before the due date of their borrowed information resources. However, it is the member's responsibility to keep track of the return dates of information resources borrowed from the library. Failure to receive emails sent to the member is not considered a reason to avoid applying penalties for delays.
l) Users who are not library members cannot borrow information resources; however, they can use them within the library.
m) The number of books that can be borrowed, and the loan and extension periods are as follows:

BOOKS AND OTHER MATERIALS NOT RETURNED ON TIME
For each library material not returned on time, the member will be penalized with a ban on borrowing printed resources for the number of days the loan is delayed. The amount of the penalty and, if deemed necessary, the penalty limits are determined by the Library Advisory Board upon the recommendation of the Department Head and may be revised using the same method according to current conditions. No penalty will be applied if a procedural error caused by personnel or lending equipment is identified by the Department Head. If the user documents the excuse for the delay (e.g., medical report), the date range specified in the document will not be taken into account in the calculation of the penalty. Graduation and disassociation procedures for students with outstanding book returns will not be processed until the books are returned.
MATERIALS NOT AVAILABLE FOR LOAN
The following materials are not available for loan:
Encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases,
Periodicals,
Unpublished theses,
Rare handwritten and printed works,
Maps and slides,
Works that are out of print or reserved as determined by the units,
Music scores,
Collection pieces, artistic materials, etc.,
Other materials that the Department Head deems unsuitable for removal from the library.
Readers may only use such materials within the library and, if necessary, under the supervision of a staff member. DAMAGE OR LOSS OF BORROWED BOOKS/MATERIALS
The following rules apply in case of loss (damage, damage rendering unusable, etc.) of borrowed books/materials: If a borrowed information resource is lost or damaged beyond repair, the member will be asked to provide an identical copy. If this is not possible due to the resource being out of print, a new edition will be requested if available. The cost of consumables such as security tapes and labels used in preparing the replacement resource will also be charged as an expense. These amounts will be determined annually by a commission established by the Department Head. If a replacement resource is not provided, the member who lost or damaged the resource will be charged a fee based on market value for each resource.
