1. Respect for people, work environment, rules and charters in force

Libraries are places of study, it is advisable to circulate there in peace. Silence must be observed everywhere except in certain areas indicated by the library.

Permission to eat or drink is restricted to certain designated areas in each library. Eating is not permitted.

The following are prohibited:

the use of noise-emitting devices,
the entry of animals (with the exception of service animals for the disabled),
display without authorization.

Computer equipment and tools are primarily intended for documentary use. The use of computer workstations is subject to compliance with the rules and charters governing their operation, connections and use. In case of abusive use of a computer, any user will be invited to give up his place.

2. Registrations

Registration is compulsory for borrowing. For students and staff of the university, it is valid for the whole academic year. It must be renewed each year. For other readers, it is valid for one year from the date of registration. Registration is valid for all three university libraries.

The student card serves as a library card for students atuniversité Savoie Mont Blanc. For other readers, a card is issued at the time of registration, after payment of the registration fee. This card must be presented when borrowing documents and for any service requiring the identification of the applicant.

Each registered user is personally responsible for his card and therefore for the documents registered under his name.

Computer users must be authenticated.

For controlled access collections, the library card or identification must be left on deposit at the lending bank in exchange for the materials released.

Users are divided into "user categories"; these categories define the amounts of the registration fees and the duration of the loans (see Annexes 1 and 2).

Certain documents are excluded from the loan. Documents on restricted loan are borrowable for a shorter period than the general rule.

Certain services are reserved for registered users and may be subject to a charge (see Appendix 2 - Tariffs).

3. Delay in returning borrowed works

Loan deadlines must be respected (see Annex 1).

The library sends reminder emails to latecomers.

Any delay shall entail suspension of the lending right for a period equal to the duration of the delay.

If there is no response to the complaints or return of the documents requested, a recovery file is drawn up and sent to the accounting agency for action and to the central education department. Legal action may be taken.

4. Loss or damage

4.1. Document loss or damage

Any lost or damaged documents will be :

- Or replaced by the user by a new copy for the available works (same edition or more recent edition). If the book is no longer available in new, by a second-hand copy in very good condition.
- Or reimbursed at the price of new for the available works.

If a user has lost or damaged a document that is no longer available for sale and whose price cannot be determined, a lump sum will be charged (see Annex 2).

4.2. Loss or damage to property

Any equipment loaned and returned damaged will have to be replaced identically or will be charged at the cost of repair or replacement.

5. "Exeat" / re-registration

In order to register at another university, students must provide proof of good standing with the library by requesting a document called an "exeat".

If the request is made in person, the execution is then provided on paper directly to the person concerned. If the request is made by post or e-mail, the exeat will be sent by e-mail. At the request of the interested party, the exeat can also be sent to the school.

The issue of the exeat definitively closes the registration for the current year and does not allow any further borrowing.

6. Theft or attempted theft

The documents are protected by an anti-theft system.

Any theft or attempted theft is subject to disciplinary and criminal proceedings. The director of the component or department of the person who committed the theft or attempted theft will be informed.

7. Compliance with regulations

Each user undertakes to respect the internal rules of the university and the present regulations. In the event of non-compliance with these rules, the disciplinary section of the Academic Council with jurisdiction over users may be seized. In the event of particularly serious behavioural problems, the President of the University may provisionally exclude the user.
