LIBRARY GUIDE FOR 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 colour label represents the floor where the book's shelve is located. In this example, a green label means that this book is located in the 2nd floor of the library.

 

The red circle means that the book cannot be borrowed, it stays permanently at the library.

The green circle means that the book can only be borrowed for 3 days (shorter loan limit), and that the loan cannot be renewed.

The call number shows the location of the book on the shelves.

Interlibrary loan

If you're in need of a document that does not exist at FEUP's Library you may use this service to obtain it by asking other libraries through InterLibrary loan.

See here how to proceed.

Fines

Should an item not be delivered within the due date, a fine is charged to the user.

Each extra day over the loan limit is charged with a fine of 0,50 EUR.

Borrowing allowances
