COVID –19 Emergency
Books in quarantine for three days
Because of the concern that high-touch items and
surfaces can act as COVID-19 spreading vehicles, returned books sit in a dedicated space
for 72 hours before they are handled by employees or are
returned to shelves for the
public to access .
Borrowing books
First of all:
• Search for the book you need using the Library Online Catalogue:
https://opac.uniroma4.it/.
If the book is available, you will read:
"Documento disponibile" means the book is not on loan to another patron, therefore you can borrow it.
"Documento ammesso al prestito" means the book is available for loan
(serials, encyclopaedias, dictionaries and reference works are not available for loan)
Register
• The first time you borrow a book, you need to register to the library services. You must do it from home, in order to save your time when you come to the library.
• To register go to the button Accedi in the upper right of the catalogue and then Non sei ancora registrato? [Not registered yet?]
