Books and journals

•    Works from 1980 onwards are shelved in the library and can be freely consulted and borrowed.
•    Works predating 1980 are stored in a depot and can be requested through the catalogue (lib.ugent.be).
•    An extensive collection of electronic journals is available through the catalogue or via lib.ugent.be/en/databases.
•    Printed journals can be requested per volume or per year and consulted in the library, or you can request a scan of an article. This can be done through the catalogue. The video "request scanned article" explains how to do that.

You use your student card or staff card to borrow items.

The loan period is four weeks. You can generally renew your loans twice at lib.ugent.be.

College books can be borrowed for at most three weeks.
