Reference Register

Sign yourself in when you come to the library, and out when you leave. You do not need to borrow anything — this is for reading a newspaper, consulting a question paper, looking something up in a reference book, or simply working here.

1. What are you here for

Reference book Enter the number printed on the book. Newspaper or magazine Which one? A name is enough. Past year question paper Which subject, or which paper? Reading or study No particular book. Just sign yourself in.

2. Who is this

Your GR number The GR number printed on your college identity card — the same number you give when you borrow a book. Your UserID or your name will also work.

Or sign in first — students and staff both can. If you are signed in, you type nothing at all: the register already knows who you are, and keeps a record of your visits you can see.

3. The book

The number printed on the book On the cover or the spine. Leave it blank if you are only here to study — choose “Reading or study” instead.

What this is, and what it is not

It is a record that you were here. It is not a borrowing, so nothing here has a due date and nothing here can ever be fined.
It never shows on your borrowing record and does not count towards your reading score.
Only you and the librarian can see your own visits. This page does not show who else is in the library.
You can press Done when you leave. If you forget, nobody chases you — the visit simply shows as still open, and the time is left out of the average rather than guessed at.
