Loans and regulations

Everybody can borrow books	If you have registered a library account at Chalmers you are welcome to borrow books. You find your books yourself by using the catalogue, and you register your loans yourself by using the loan and return- computer.
Books can be borrowed, but not journals	Books can be borrowed, except for reference books. Journals may only be borrowed by staff and guests at Mathematical Sciences, and must then be available in the office. Other users have the possibility to make photocopies. Single copies of journals must never leave the library.
Loan period	Books can be borrowed for at least 14 days and at the most 3 months. If another user requests the book the loan period is automatically shortened. The loans can be renewed twice. Notice that researchers, teachers, employees and guests at Mathematical Sciences always have the first priority to books they are in need of. Therefore it is possible that their loans get renewed despite of holds, or they are placed first in line for already requested books.
Returning loans	Return your loans in time or renew them before or as soon as you get a notice from the library. Reminders are sent by e-mail for items not returned by the due date. If late items are not returned after 3 reminders, an invoice is sent out and borrowers are liable to pay a replacement charge for the book plus an administrative charge of 300 SEK.
