E-mail Notification

E-mail notices are sent to the user in order to warn them about their borrowed materials before they become overdue. E-mail notices are also sent for recalled materials to avoid overdue charges. The user receives overdue notices for 3 days following the due date. Users returning or renewing their materials during this grace period will not be subject to any overdue charges. Any material returned or renewed after the grace period will be subject to overdue fees, which will include charges for the three-day grace period.

Fines & Fees

The fine for most overdue materials is 2,50 TL per item per day. Any items returned after the grace period will receive fines for the entire overdue period, including the grade period. An item that is four days overdue will thus be subject to a 10 TL fine.

For DVDs (per day), AV materials (per hour), or reserve materials (per hour), the fine is 10,00 TL per day/hour. There is no grace period for these items.

Any loss or damage must be reported via Library Trackit or by e-mail to libcirculation@ku.edu.tr or by telephone at 0-212-338-1318. You will be charged the market value of the item, the 50,00 TL replacement fee, plus any overdue fines already incurred. The Health Sciences Library patrons may report via Library Trackit or sent e-mail to hslibinformation@ku.edu.tr or by telephone at 0-212-311 26 23.
