URL libraries borrowing

When you need a book that is in another Ramon Llull University library and you want it sent to ESADE

You can place a hold on a book following these steps:

1. Enter in My account
2. Find the item you want to reserve in the library catalogue
3. Click in “Request URL” option
4. Select the library where you want to pick up the requested document

Once the document is available for you, you will receive a notice by email. This process may take 3-4 days.

You can check the state of a request or cancel it in My account.

You can also borrow the books directly from the URL library that owns them. You must use your URL card.

Who can request this service?

Students, professors, researchers, and administrative and services staff from URL (ESDI excluded).

What documents can be borrowed?

• In general, the documents with a loan type “Normal” in the catalogue.
• Books from a recommended literature list can only be borrowed by the members of each institution. These books have a loan type “Only XXX” in the catalogue (e.g. books with “Only IQS” loan type can only be borrowed by IQS students.)
• The documents that have a loan status “No Loan” can not be borrowed.

How many documents and for how long?

The number of documents a user can borrow is always the same, no matter from which URL library the books are borrowed.

The loan policies about reserves, renewals and penalties are common to all URL libraries.
