Borrow documents, renew current loans and reserve items you are interested in

The loan service allows you to borrow documents from the ESADE library

My account

How it works / how to use it

To borrow items from the Library, you must show your individual and non-transferable TUI card, which is also available on the ESADE app.

Documents can be borrowed from and returned to any ESADE Library location (Sant Cugat or Pedralbes). To check out an item, you must stop by the loan desk or the self-loan machine.

How many documents can I borrow and for how long?

The number of documents a person can borrow simultaneously varies depending on the type of user and the type of document.

Students and Esade Alumni

Number of documents: 10
Loan period: White label 30 days | Green label 15 days | Yellow label 7 days

Faculty and Staff

Number of documents: 30
Loan period: White label 60 days | Green label 15 days | Yellow label 7 days

Documents with a red label cannot be borrowed.

A loan can be renewed up to six times, as long as no one else has reserved the document.

Reserving a document

In My account, you can reserve a document that you are interested in (whether it is currently available or not). You can also cancel a reservation and consult the status of a request.

Renewing a loan

A loan can be renewed as long as no one else has reserved the document.

You can renew a loan up to six times, via My account, by telephone or by email. If you want to renew a loan for the seventh time, you must return the document to the Library and borrow it again.

Shipment of documents between campuses

We can ship documents to any campus if you make a reservation via My account.    

Basic bibliography items and journals are excluded from this service. 

 

Madrid campus

If you work or attend classes on the ESADE Madrid campus, you can request the shipment of library books through your programme manager.

Penalties

If you return a document after the due date, you will be penalised with one day without service for each day the item was overdue.

If you damage or lose a borrowed document, you must replace it with an identical item or, if this is not possible, pay the cost of the item.
