PHYSICAL LIBRARY COLLECTION LOCATION
The library collection is housed in four distinct physical library spaces
The borrowing regulations on this page apply to current registered Makerere university user community (staff, students and researchers-external users). The library lends books and other documents from its collection for study and research purposes.
The borrowers accessing the Library’s services require a Makerere University identity card. The card can be used at all the various collection locations.
Books may normally be borrowed for a period of two weeks. The loan period must be observed. The loan period can be reduced for books on reservation lists. Special rules apply for textbooks. Loan restrictions are imposed on certain kinds of material. Overdue books on reserve must be returned immediately. Other loans may usually be renewed. Loans must be returned during periods of extended absence. Lending library material to a third party is not allowed.
If overdue books are not returned after two overdue notices, borrowers will, be bound to pay a fine.
When library material are lost or damaged, it is costly and disruptive to the library and its borrowers. Borrowers are responsible for lost or damaged material. Marking text or writing in library material, tearing, staining, is considered damage. Replacement fees are therefore charged to the most recent borrower when problems are discovered. If you receive an item in a damaged state, you should report this when taking it out, to avoid being charged a fee.
The Library space is meant to provide a conducive and enabling environment for academic activities so all users are expected to adhere to the guidelines as stated below.
Please adhere to the Rules & Regulations:
| Days | Morning | Afternoon |
|---|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 8.00 am – 12.30 pm | 2.00 pm – 5.00 pm |
| Saturday & Sunday | Closed | Closed |
