Borrow, reserve, and request
Borrow
You can borrow up to 10 works per faculty, and 10 books from the Booktower. The standard loan term is 4 weeks. You can renew a book 3 times, unless another patron reserves the book(s) in the meantime.
You can renew a book once half of the loan term has passed. There are several ways of going about this:
- via the catalogue. Log in, click on 'My loans' > 'Renew'
- at the desk in the library
- send an e-mail to bib.fbw@ugent.be
- call the library at 09/264.58.95
Reserve
There are two ways to reserve a book:
- when a book is already borrowed by another patron: look up the book in the catalogue and click on the blue 'Reserve'-button. You will receive an e-mail when the book is available.
- when you order a book: mention that you would like to borrow it first when you order the book.
Request
Articles in print journals and works in the closed stack must be requested before consultation.
- Request articles via the SFX-button in the database.
- Request books in the closed stacks via the catalogue, and by clicking the blue 'Request'-button.
