You can use a virtual library card with the TUUDO app if you have a TUNI ID. Alternatively your student card can serve as your library card or you can apply an ordinary library card at the service desk.
Activate your library card with the TUUDO application or make your student card function as a library card online at the IT Helpdesk or contact the Library service desk.
Once you have activated your library card and you have a pin code, you can use the self-service machines to borrow books. Return the books with the self-service returning machine. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask the Library staff!
As a library card holder you are bound to comply with the library service rules and are responsible for all materials borrowed on your card.
The Library does not limit the amount of borrowed books. However, the loan periods for the printed books can vary.
The usual loan period for the general collection is four weeks and two weeks for course books. Always check the due dates from your receipt in order to avoid any late fees.
If you need to extend your loan period, you can renew your loans in Andor. More information on our loan services can be found on our website.
