Guidelines and Tips

   Always bring your countersigned ID (or a valid ID for Non-UP researcher, please see Access Requirements below) everytime you visit the library. ID countersigning is located at the ID Validation Desk, ground floor entrance of the College of Science library. If a student, has no or lost their ID, he may be issued a temporary ID by the college library upon presentation of his Form 5 and receipt from the Registrar, that he has paid for his ID.

    For borrowing privileges, students are required to obtain a UP webmail account at the start of the semester, through the UP Computer Center, located at the UP Alumni Engineers Building, Magsaysay St., UP Diliman, near the Engineering Sundial. Any student, faculty and staff who has a countersigned ID and an active UP WebMail may borrow circulation books from any UP library subject to its rules and regulations. If however, a student/faculty/staff has an overdue loan(s), he may not be allowed to borrow another item until he returns the book(s) and pays the fine(s) even if his total charges are less than the maximum (5 or 10) allowed.
