The Library sends library notifications via email to inform patrons about the circulation of library materials.

• To ensure that you can receive all types of library email notifications properly, please take note of the following:

1. Log in to your library account to register or update your “My Email and Additional Email Addresses for Library Notifications,” or visit the Circulation Desk in person to make changes.

2. Check your mailbox capacity and block/exclusion list to avoid bounced emails.

Email notifications for circulation services are provided as a courtesy reminder only. Patrons are advised to log in to their library accounts regularly to check their borrowing status in order to protect their borrowing privileges.
Due to force majeure events or technical issues on the internet, any failure to receive or loss of email notifications cannot be considered a valid reason for waiving overdue fines or extending loan periods.

• There are five types of notifications:

1. Item-due Notice (three days beforehand): This notice lists only borrowed items due in three days’ time, so renew or return the designated items promptly.

2. Item-due Notice (one day beforehand): This notice lists all borrowed items for you to confirm the following: items due soon (renew or return all such items promptly), or items already overdue (return these items as soon as possible; such items cannot be renewed).

3. Overdue Notice: This notice is to inform you that the item you have borrowed is currently overdue; material returned past the “due date” are charged 5NTD per day per item, so please return all overdue items as soon as possible. A first overdue notice is delivered on the second day after the due date, with the Library granting a three-day grace period (overdue fines continue to accumulate), and a second overdue notice is delivered on the fourth day after the due date; if all late items are returned within three days, no overdue fine will be charged; if late items are returned on the fourth day or later, overdue fines commence at 20NTD, with an extra 5NTD per each extra late day; after the second overdue notice, the system will continue to deliver overdue notices every 7 days (up to 4 times), for a total of 6 overdue notices maximum.

4. Reserved Item Arrival Notice: This notice is to inform you that the item you reserved is already on the Reserve Shelf; please come to the Library to pick up the reserved material at your earliest convenience.

5. Reserved Item Return Notice: This notice is to inform you that the item you borrowed has been reserved by another library patron, so please return the item as soon as possible.
