Reservations
Any document from thel URL Catalogue (except excluded documents) can be reserved by any user who is active and unrestricted (fines, maximum number of loans allowed...), either from the catalog itself (option available upon identification in My Account or by requesting it from the library staff at the information and Loan counter.
- Bookings of books of any faculty URL can be made

Returns
Books must be returned by the indicated return date. Returns will be made at the Library counter or in the return mailbox at the outside entrance corridor to the Study Room.
If a refund is made after the deadline, loan service blockages will appy (1 day of blocking for each document and day of delay in the return). There may be more restrictive penalties for some types of documents (consult library staff).
Documents not returned, lost or mistreated (broken, painted sheets, etc...) must be restored by the user. Until they are restored the loan service will be blocked.
PUC
The Unified Consortium Loan (PUC) is a free service that allows authorized users (enrolled, hired) to request and borrow documents that are not available in the libraries of the URL, but that are in a library of the institutions that are part of the CSUC.

(We remind that this service also allows free access of users to any library of the participating institutions).
Types of loan
The documents may be requested in different ways:
a) On site Loan: in person, in the Libray where they are deposited, and presenting the university card.
b) PUC vía web: remotely, through the Encore interface of the PUC. In this case, we advise you to follow the following steps:
- Access My Account (this step only needs to be done the first time to activate the account)
- Look for the document and select the option "Request"
- Register with the institution's identification (Identifier: mailiqs@iqs.url.edu + email password)

Interlibrary Loan
Documents that are not available in the libraries of the URLor in the libraries participating in the PUC can be requested by PI (Interlibrary Loan).
Inside this service we also found the SOD (Document Obtaining Service) for articles from publications not subscribed by IQS.
This service may generate some management costs, for which the user will be informed for confirmation before carrying out the procedure.
