We do not open the doors on Saturdays as the situation is still perilous.  Please note that to prevent the virus from spreading at the campus, libraries are only open for drop ship lending service and returning the books via a courier, so that the community cannot enter the library. Academic members can enjoy UMN Library services online.

Q   :   How do I borrow books in this situation?

A : Users can borrow physical books from the library by ordering the desired book at SLiMS, then please fill in the form http://bit.ly/peminjamanmahasiswareguler. Next, the library will confirm the availability of books in the library. After receiving confirmation from the library, books can be retrieved when the library opens on Monday at 10:00 - 13:00 by showing the identification card and a confirmation reply from the library via WhatsApp.

Students who are currently undergoing a thesis can borrow books by delivery. Please fill in the form http://bit.ly/peminjamanmahasiswasresi. The maximum borrowing of books is four books. Furthermore, the library will confirm your loan. Then, the library will send proof of delivery. If the borrower has received a book, it is mandatory to send a confirmation via our WhatsApp with the number 081213153197 and don’t forget to follow the format Nama_NIM_Title of book received_Condition of a book when replying to our confirmation info prior, as well as sending a photo of the book that has been received as proof.

 

Q : How do I return the book in this situation?

A : Academicians can return physical books from the library by courier (same day / regular / expedition). Confirm in advance to the WhatsApp UMN Library at 081213153197. To return the borrowed books via same-day courier can be done on Monday and expedition courier. With an estimated arrival of goods on Monday, the UMN security team will take the deliverance goods and forward them to the library. 

It is obligatory to send a confirmation of book delivery by sending a screenshot/photo of the book delivery receipt to the WhatsApp number. Only then, the book will be processed for return. For books that have fines, they must confirm beforehand to be given directions for the settlement of fines.

 

Q : What if the book I want to return is counted as a fine?

A : Can still be done by courier (same day / regular / expedition), then pay fines via transfer to the Multimedia Nusantara Foundation. We will provide the account number when the borrower has sent proof of delivery of the borrowed book or delivery receipt number. After that, we will confirm your proof of payment of fines.

 

Q : During this PSBB (COVID-19), book lending has been extended, but if you look at the system (slims.umn.ac.id) the books borrowed are overdue?

A : In the system, every book has returning dates. If the borrowed books are overdue, the system will count them as late. From March 16 to June 13, the library system does not count fine(s) and so, you do not pay fine(s). This rule is still running.
