1. How can I borrow from the Library?

If you wish to borrow material from the University of Cyprus Library you will need to acquire a Library card. You are held responsible for the safety of all items borrowed on your name.

Use the automatic lending machine, where these are available. The machine will print printed receipt listing the books you have borrowed and the return dates.

You can also borrow the material you wish from the circulation desk. Present all items you wish to borrow at the Circulation Desk, along with your Library card. The Library staff will lend you all items and will stamp on each one the latest date of return.

The books/items must be returned (or renewed) by the given date. Please note that if you several items borrowed, the date of return may not be the same for all. If you fail to return one or more items on time, you will be charged with a fine.

2. What can I borrow from the Library?

The Library's holdings include books, CD-ROMs, videotapes, maps and other non-print material. Library material is available for use within the Library premises, as well as for loan.
