1. Loan Periods
2. Renewals
3. Holds
4. Recalls After an item has been checked out for ten (10) days, it may be recalled if a hold request is placed by another patron. A recall notice will be emailed to the borrower informing him/her that the item must be returned to the Circulation Desk within three (3) days. The due date will subsequently be changed to reflect the conditions of the hold request. Recalled items not returned by the new due date are subject to habitual overdue fines. Similarly, the library reserves the right to recall a checked-out item at any point at its discretion. Patrons are duly informed of the need to return the item and should do so promptly.
5. Overdue Fines All patrons incur overdue fines for each item returned late. Borrowing privileges are suspended for overdue items and unpaid fines.
6. Lost Items For lost items, the borrower will be charged any overdue fine accrued to that point, as well as the cost of replacing the lost item and a 200 DH processing fee. Borrowing privileges are suspended until the lost item bill is paid in full. In the scenario where an item is subsequently found and returned before a replacement is ordered, said cost may be refunded; however, neither the overdue fine nor the processing fee will be waived in this case. Fees are paid in full at the Circulation Desk by means of a deduction from the cash wallet card. Extenuating circumstances will allow for fines exceeding 50 DH to be forwarded to the Business Office, at which time borrowing privileges can be reinstated. Payments cannot be performed by phone or email, regardless of urgency or need.
7. Damaged Items Patrons are responsible for returning library items in the same condition in which they were borrowed. When an item is deemed to have been damaged, the library reserves the right to charge the borrower the cost of repair or replacement. The costs are determined wholly at the library’s discretion. Borrowing privileges are suspended until the damaged item bill is paid in full.
8. Borrowers' Responsibilities Borrowers are responsible for reading and honoring the library’s email notices in a timely fashion. Failure to do so does not override any library policies or procedures. Furthermore, patrons are urged to monitor their My Millennium accounts so as to ensure that due dates are respected. Admission to the library is conditional upon observation of the policies upheld therein, and the staff of the library is empowered to enforce these regulations. Persistent failure to observe library rules may result in the withdrawal of access to library facilities, and the matter may be referred to the Library Director. Patrons should inform the Circulation Desk of a change of address, whether permanent or temporary. Similarly, changes of email address, phone number, or any other pertinent info should be communicated in as prompt a manner as possible. Books and other library resources must not be removed from the library unless the loan has been duly recorded by a member of the library staff. To that end, all loans necessitate the patron’s ID card. Furthermore, AUI ID cards are not transferable; the member named on each card is responsible for the items borrowed on it, and is liable for the cost of replacement in the event of loss or damage. Borrowing privileges will be suspended for overdue items, unpaid fines, and any other repeated infractions. Privileges may also be suspended if other library policies are not consistently honored.
9. Special Borrowing Capstone students, and Honors Students can borrow up to eighteen (18) items, if they submit a written request approved by their supervising faculty members. Similarly, students working on theses can request exemption from habitual restrictions by way of faculty intervention. AUI Faculty may request exemptions from habitual restrictions for extenuating circumstances due to professional needs. These requests will be weighed individually and replied to in the promptest manner possible. These requests should be mailed directly to circulation@aui.ma
10. Course Reserves The library Reserves Service includes highly in-demand and/or faculty-assigned materials for short-term use, primarily within the library itself. Mohammed VI Library maintains reserve collections and electronic access to class-related materials that support academic programs. Books, articles, and other documents (e.g., sample exams, syllabi, problem sets, readings, and lecture notes) are set aside in accordance with faculty requests. Furthermore, items deemed particularly desirable, even if not requested by faculty, may be put aside for general use. Faculty members are invited to fill out the Reserve Request Form or to visit the "Course Reserves" service guide for more information.
11. Headphones Headphones can be checked out at the circulation desk (using a cash wallet, just like books) for up to four hours maximum. Failure to return the headphones on time will result in a fine of 10MAD per hour (so, 1 minute late will result in a fine). Headphones are for library use only and if they are damaged or lost, the students will pay 500 MAD to cover the cost of their replacement, in addition to the accumulated fine if the headphones are also returned late. They may be checked out according to the following schedule:
