GET TO KNOW YOUR LIBRARY: INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: Loan service

Loan service

Borrowing and Returns must be exclusively realized at the ground floor's circulation desk.

Books' identification on the shelves

The color label on top indicates the floor where the book is shelved. In this example, the color means the book is on the 2nd floor of the library.

 

The red circle means that the book can't be borrowed. It stays permanently at the library.

The green circle means that the book can be borrowed for 3 days only (shorter loan limit). This loan can't be renewed.

The call number shows where the book is located on the shelves.

Interlibrary loan

If you need a document that is not available at FEUP's Library, you can use the InterLibrary Loan service to request it from other libraries.

See here how to proceed.

Reservations

You can make a reservation if the document you need is currently on loan to someone else. To do this, go online to the Library's Catalogue. Once you find the item you want, click on "Pedido" and submit your reservation request.
