Service limitations at the University Library

As of 26 March, you cannot browse the library shelves yourself. In exchange, students and staff can request books, whether they are on loan or not. We will collect the books and put them on the reservations shelf for you. You will be notified by e-mail in the morning of the day you have books to collect.

The library is closed, except for collecting requested books weekdays 12-14. You can still call us, or use Ask the library.

The group room corridors are accessible with JU-card 6-23 all days.

No overdue fees

For the time being, there will be no overdue fees for ongoing and new loans. This is effective as of Tuesday 17 March. We have made this change to help you avoid visits to campus if you are ill or concerned about the risk of infection.

Remember that others might be waiting for the books. Please return them as soon as you can.

Lengthened loan period for course books

As of Tuesday 24 March, the loan period for books from the course book collection has been changed from two to seven days.

Course books which are currently on loan will also get this lengthened loan period when they are renewed. Please keep in mind that you still must renew course book loans in Primo.
