Requests

Online requests

Key information about the Main Library's collections can be found in the library catalogue.

Most books available at WUT Main Library can be requested online by logging into your library account. For copies where this option is available, the ‘Request’ button will be visible after selecting location.

The ‘Request’ option is also active for books currently on loan to other users. In this case, when requesting a borrowed copy, you join the queue (this also applies to books in the Open Stacks location).

The ‘Request’ button is not visible to users who have reached their borrowing limit (check out: User authorisation levels) or whose library account has been blocked.

Pickup time

The requested book is ready for pickup when the message ‘On Hold Shelf until [pick-up date]’ appears in the ‘Requests’ tab of the user's library account. The requested material can be picked up within 4 working days from the date of its completion, or within 12 days in the case of extramural and postgraduate students.

Pickup location

To pick up your requested book, please go to the location indicated in the library catalogue as the pickup location. It is also visible in your library account in the “Requests” tab.

Loans

Persons with an active library account may borrow items from WUT libraries. Read more: User authorisation levels. Detailed provisions concerning user groups eligible to borrow items from WUT libraries and their authorisation are set out in the Regulations.

Loan period

The loan period for books is specified for each copy in the library catalogue after selecting the location, visible as ‘Available (…) for [specified period]’. After borrowing a book, the due date will appear in your library account under the ‘Loans’ tab. In justified cases, the library may request that the book be returned before the due date.

Borrowing limits

The status of individual user groups, borrowing limits and the maximum single validity period of a library account are listed in the table on the User authorisation levels page.

The borrowing limit applies to all loans on the user's library account, regardless of their location (Main Library, branches, and faculty and institute libraries). Other WUT libraries (faculty and institute libraries) may apply additional restrictions on loans from their collections.

BiblioWawa inter-university library loans

The Main Library of Warsaw University of Technology participates in BiblioWawa Warsaw Reciprocal Borrowing Programme, under which registered users from WUT can borrow library materials from affiliated libraries. Register at Student Lending Room (Main Building, ground floor, room 71). More information about BiblioWawa

• The loan period depends on the regulations of the participating libraries
• Borrowing limit: 3 books at a time per user in each participating library

Loan renewal

The loan period for each book can be extended three times. You can extend the loan period yourself - after logging into your library account - or with the help of a librarian.

The loan period for a given book may be extended each time for the same period as the original loan period (for example, a book borrowed for a month can be extended for another month). It is best to renew a few days before the due date (the new loan period is counted from the date of renewal, not from the original due date).

Renewal won’t be possible in the following cases:

• the book has been reserved by another user
• your library account has been blocked (check out: library account)
• you have reached the maximum number of renewals

Returning books

Borrowed books must be returned to the locations from which they were borrowed.

They constantly strive for closer cooperation in order to increase efficiency of services for library users.

• Main Library – addresses, opening hours, contact
• Branch and Students' Halls of Residence Libraries
• Faculty and Institute Libraries

Specialist libraries characteristics

User groups

Specialist libraries (faculty, institute and chairs) provide library and information services first of all to researchers, doctoral students and students of the unit the +library belongs to, then to users from other WUT units and to readers from outside the University.
Faculty libraries meet expectations and needs of students mainly. Institute and chair libraries support first of all research and teaching activities of academic staff and doctoral students of their parent units.

Activities

The specialist libraries primary task of is to select relevant literature and to provide proper and equitable access to the library collections. Therefore, the library materials are collected in accordance with the area of study and the scope of research activities carried out at each faculty, institute or chair.

Services

The scope of library services offered by the WUT specialist libraries is defined by obligatory REGULATIONS for Access to the Collections and Provision of Information Services of the WUT Library System. However, individual specialist libraries may define some rules for accessing the collections differently, according to their specific operating conditions.

Most specialist libraries provide basic library services:

• sharing collections (printed and electronic) – on site and borowing
• providing information
• training

The scope of library services, rules and procedures for their provision, and groups of users of particular services are, in most cases, defined by specialist libraries. For further information, refer to the individual libraries (see: Faculty and Institute Libraries).

Fees for overdue books

The fee for overdue is 0,30 PLN per day for one item. Overdue automatically blocks the library account.

Payments can be made by:

• e-Payment Service – PayU – directly from the users’ library account

  The electronic payment is available from your library account in the “Loans” bookmark for books which are overdue and have not been returned to the library yet, and in the “Fees” bookmark for books which are overdue but already returned.

  Regulations for electronic payments [in Polish]

  Safety

  Online Payments service is supplied by PayU – a company that provides an online payment system. Find more about the user’s security in PayU

  Unblocking the library account

  When you use the PayU, your library account will be unblocked almost immediately after the transfer has been made. 

  For books which are overdue and have not been returned to the library yet you will get 3 extra days for returning them to the library or for renewing (it is possible only if: 1. no one else has ordered the book 2. your account is not blocked 3. you have not exceeded the limit of 3 renewals).

  If you prefer a traditional money transfer in a bank or at the post office, you can download and print the payment form (it will appear while choosing the payment method). You will need to wait until the money has been registered in the account and then your library account will be unblocked. It can last up to 4 work days.

  Books borrowed from various locations

  Fees for overdue books borrowed from various locations (Main Library, faculty libraries, institute libraries) need to be paid separately for each location. You cannot settle the payment for books from different locations by one money transfer.

• Directly to the Main Library bank account

  Bank account number: 34 1240 1053 5111 4310 0050 0091 . Transfer title: name, surname and number of library card or student WUT ID number.

  Download a payment form for traditional money transfer in a bank or at the post office here.

  This can be done only for books from the Main Library, its branches and libraries at students dormitories. Attention – this account number cannot be used for paying for overdue books from the faculty and institute libraries.

  When the payment has been made, the users’ account will be unblocked within 4 days or after showing the proof of payment in the Library.

  Please remember that the fees will be accepted only for books already returned to the library (“Fees” bookmark on the user account).

  Collapse
• Cash payments at the Main Library

  In special cases, cash payments for late return of books to: WUT Main Library / its branches / Students Hall of Residence Akademik library may be made at WUT Main Building, room 71 (ground floor), Mon. - Fri. between 11:00 and 15:00.

  The payment will be immediately debited from the user's account.
