Access Control
Computerized card access control systems are used in many departments
throughout the university.
Similarly, staff and student cards will be used to authenticate and gain
access into the libraries via the turnstiles ( gates ).
Only access into the library is controlled. Exit points are not
controlled.
The University adopts an open campus concept, as such any person can enter the University grounds.
Access control will improve security by ensuring that only bona fide users are allowed to enter the library.
In addition, access control will also help us to alleviate space
problems.
During the initial implementation period, Library staff will need to
ascertain if you are an eligible member. Upon confirmation, the staff
will override the access control system for you to enter the premises.
There will be a grace period of two months after the start of access
control. After this period, students will no longer be allowed entry
into the premises if they forget to bring their cards.
The Library staff at the Reception / Loans Desk will check our
database and the Registrar’s Office to verify the validity of your card.
Notices and instructions on how to use the access
control system will be placed prominently at library entrances. Library
staff will be on hand to guide those who need assistance.
Report the loss or theft of your card immediately to
the Registrar’s Office (RO) and the Library.
You may obtain a temporary slip from the RO to certify that you are
student of NUS. You will have to produce this slip at the entrance to a
library staff for verification every time you seek to enter the NUS
Libraries.
Your responsibilities as a card-holder include the following:
Your card is non-transferable. You must not pass your card to others.
Doing so is in violation of the University’s regulations.
Report the loss of your card immediately
A separate entrance has been provided to users who are physically
challenged.
You should return your card to Registrar’s Office once you have
received your final exams result.
NUS alumni can join the library to continue using its facilities.
Membership subscription fee of $100.00 per annum or $400.00 for a 5-yr
period. Normal rate for non alumni is $300.00 per annum.
Alternatively,
alumni can consult the library collection ( no borrowing privileges ) by
presenting their alumni cards at entrances.
