How to request and pick up the documents
You can request them directly through the interface PUC or in situ at the library that owns the documents.
The user must identify himself and indicate in what library wants to pick up the document. Some days after the user will receive an email communicating to him that the document is reserved for him for four days.
If the user goes directly to the library that owns the document, an institution card must be shown.
How to renew loans
Loans can be renewed up to 6 times as long as they have not been reserved by another user and the renewal is made within the loan term.
Renewals can be made
- Via web, through ‘My Account’ (in the institution library catalogue)
- In the user's own library
How to return the documents
Users can return the documents to any institution's libraries or to any library of the institution that owns the document.
Keep in mind that the loan will be recorded in the user record till the institution that owns the document receives the documents.
The user is required to return the documents during the term of the loan unless it has authorized a renewal, and he is required to do that in the same physical conditions that they have been provided.
If the user returns the documents with delay:
- They will apply a day penalty for each day of delay and for each document.
- The application of this penalty is regulated by the circulation rules of each institution.
If documents are not returned or the user returns them damaged:
- The user must return them with copies of the same edition or similar characteristics or must pay the equivalent cost set by the CBUC annually.
- Until this is accomplished, the user will be excluded from this service, regardless of other measures that may apply.
