Later on, you can search for the material and reserve it.  

It depends on the user group and material type.  For example, while the students are allowed to borrow 5 books, 3 periodicals, and 2 non-book materials, academicians are allowed to borrow 10 books, 3 periodicals, and 2 non-book materials. For more detailed information, please visit the Loaning Services page on Library web page.

You are allowed to neither extend nor borrow any materials before you pay the late fee.

Research and E-Resources

You need to use the ACADEMIC SEARCH ENGINE, which is a federated search engine, on the library web page to search for articles.

Databases were initially created for electronic journal contents, and later on books were added to make it more comprehensive electronic information bank. They involve e-journals and e-books.
Databases may involve single subject (such as MathSciNet on math or Hein-Online on law), or) involve multi subjects (EbscoHost or ABI Inform Global)
Databases have their own search engines. Therefore, when you cannot find what you are looking for by using ACADEMIC SEARCH ENGINE, it is best to search through a specific database.
