Online management of your loans
You can manage your loans online from the library’s catolog, e.g. for
renewals, reservations, requests, etc.
You can learn below how to use the catalog (OPAC) facilities for the
most common functions regarding loans:
To use the online services first you need to sign in the OPAC. Remember
that you have to do this before changing the language.
To sign in from the Italian version select Identificati and enter your
library card number twice. You will be asked to change the password
after the first time.

1. How do I know if the book I found is available?
Once you have found a book in the OPAC, if you look in the column
“Bib/Items” you will see two numbers in brackets (x/y). The first number
indicates the number of copies held in the library, the second indicates the
number of copies currently on loan.
Example:
In the second case, (2/1) means that there are 2 copies of the book and
only 1 is on loan.
Library Services – SECTION TWO
Borrowing material – Loans
For more detailed information about book availability, click on the
numbers in brackets or on the location code.
When a date appears in the column named Due Date, it means that the
item is currently on loan, otherwise On shelf will appear. If there are
several copies of the same book, as in this example, you will see the
availability of each copy.
Under Item Status column you can see if the book can be borrowed or not
(Loan / Not on loan).

2. How do I reserve an item?
If the item you’ve interested in is currently on loan, from the Holdings
frame click on the underlined Request link to place a hold request.
If other requests have been posted, they will appear under the column No.
of requests.
When you click on the Request link you’ll be directed to a form to
complete and submit. You will be e-mailed when the item is available. You
have three days from receiving this e-mail to collect the book from the loan
desk.
Library Services – SECTION TWO

3. How do I renew an item?
If you have borrowed a book and the loan is about to expire, you may
extend the loan period. You can do this easily from the OPAC by cliking on
My library card at the top of the frame, once you’ve singed in. This will
access your personal information page. In the Loans list select the item to
be renewed by cliking on the underlined number in the No. column. In the
loan details screen the Renew button will appear only if you have not
exceeded the renewals allowed.
