Reserve a seat
It can be used when you need to leave your seat temporarily, which is divided into 2 conditions: Leave Temporarily (30 minutes), Leave for Lunch (60 minutes) and Leave for Dinner (60 minutes), the latter two of which can only be selected in specific time periods (11:00-13:00, 17:00-19:00). The option of “Leave Temporarily” to retain your seat may be chosen up to 5 times a day, and the seat can be reserved up to 3 times every 2 hours. The reserved seat will not be released by anyone, and the system will automatically default the seat status to “Returned” at the end of the reservation time (the reservation time can be viewed in the system).
Release a seat
Readers are required to “Release a seat” to release the seat when they are sure that they will not return after leaving the library.
Supervise seat occupation
Readers who find that a seat is displayed as occupied in the system but actually not used may use the “Supervise Seat Occupation” function. The supervised person will receive a reminder message reminding him/her that he/she needs to re-scan the QR code and sign in within 8 minutes. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a violation of the rules for not releasing the seat after leaving the library. The seat will then be automatically transferred to the supervising reader (or released directly).
Notes
1. A violation will be recorded for those who fail to sign in within the specified time after reservation and failure to cancel the reservation voluntarily.
2. Those who fail to scan the code and sign in within 8 minutes after being marked as occupying an unused seat by the supervising reader will be recorded for one violation.
3. In case of violation of “up to 3 times in 15 days, the system will automatically put the reader on the blacklist, and the blacklisted will be banned from using the system for seat selection for 7 days.
4. If you have any comments or questions, you can provide your feedback through: Personal Center - Suggestions and Feedback to make a feedback.
