Learn the Library

1. The book is on the shelf.

Once you looked for a book or document using the searcher, found the call number of the item, and found the item browsing the shelves, just pick up the book to the Library desk and ask for a book loan. 

2. The book is NOT on the shelf.

If the book you are looking for is not available in your Library, you can make a request when the book belongs to your Library but someone else got it on loan, or when the book belongs to other UC3M Library not in your campus. Make a request and you will receive a message from the Library when it is available. Remember to validate using your UC3M user ID to request items.

Drop-down to choose the Library to pick up the book. Please note you can not choose a Library with this book available in its shelves. If the book is available (see above) just pick up the book from the shelf.

REMEMBER: you will receive an e-mail from the Library when the book is available in your campus; the book wil be reserved to you at your Library desk for 3 labour days; there is a maximum of 6 simultaneous reservations per user, 10 for professors.

See your reservations status in "Check my account".

You can renew your loans through "My Library Card" option in the searcher.

• Up to 10 weeks for any document you borrow except some few items and materials (laptops, basic texts)
• This is possible only if anybody has already placed a hold on the item you are interested in. In this case the system will warn you.
• Renew always before the due date (remember the due date expires before 21 h) If you have been fined you will not be allowed to.
