Online book renewals
Users may renew their borrowings any number of times provided there is no reservation.
Users can renew book/s twice without bringing them physically to the circulation counter or online but should bring the same if user/s want to renew for 03rd and subsequent times.
Document/s searching, book/s renewal/s, and reservation/s can be done using the WebOPAC (Online Catalogue), online, using your handheld device/s, without VPN/IISc Network, too. It's the one-stop search place for your all need.
Books are issued for 14 days. Please return or renew your borrowing/s on or before the last date marked on the date stamp slip, or else the borrowing/s will incur a fine. Non-receipt of E-mail/SMS reminders for any reason is not an excuse for non-payment of overdue charges.

Note: a. After a fresh issue, online renewal can be done not more than 2 times.
b. Overdue book/s can not be renewed online.
