Loan periods and the list of fees

Loan periods, the extension of these periods, and the number of documents that can be provided as off-site loans at any one time are stipulated below for each individual user category:

The total number of documents loaned to a user at any one time must not exceed the maximum number stipulated below for each user category:

You can use the “My Library Card” menu within the Library catalogue to check the number of documents loaned to you and the dates on which the documents are due for return.

The Library’s system automatically informs you by e-mail of the upcoming expiry of the loan period and the necessity to either extend the loan period or to return the document (pre-reminder). You must return a borrowed document no later than the date on which the loan period expires. If you fail to do so, you must pay a penalty fee (fine) for failure to return the document; the fee (fine) is set according to the List of Fees and Paid Services. After the expiry of a loan period, the Library’s system automatically generates reminders at set intervals. The first and second reminders (1 day and 8 days after the expiry of the loan period) are sent by e-mail. The third and fourth reminders (15 days and 30 days after the expiry of the loan period) are sent by post.

You can pay the penalty fines in cash at the University Library lending desk or at a faculty study room. You can pay by credit card only at the lending desk.
