Loan periods and borrowing limits

Students may borrow up to 8 books for a period of one week.

The system adds to the borrowed books an automatic extension for a period of one year at most, on condition that another reader did not order the book. The return date must be monitored using the DaTA system or the TAU-Mobile application.

If the library is closed, you can return the book to the drop box that is located at the entrance to the library.

If the book is too big for the drop box, leave the book with the Maintenance Team.

Please do not return books from the geography library to the Exact Sciences and Engineering library
