Before borrowing from the Library, users must register at the readers’ service counter (see Terms and conditions of enrolment). 

You may only borrow in person with a valid library card or student ID.  

All documents available in the circulation section may be borrowed. Documents in the reading room, journals, theses, dissertations and items of the archive collections are for reference only, and may not be borrowed. 

ELTE students may borrow 5 documents, other readers may borrow 2 documents at a time for a period of 4 weeks.  

A loan period may be extended before the due date on telephone or in person for 2 weeks, for a maximum of 2 times. The Library may restrict extension of documents in great demand.  

For documents returned after due date, a late fee will be charged. For calculating the amount due see appendix ’Library fees’. 

The reader (or their guarantor) is financially responsible for the documents borrowed. 

Lost documents may be replaced by an identical item of the document. If the reader cannot provide another item in acceptable condition before the deadline, they must pay a compensation fee determined by the Library in accordance with the actual collection value of the document. 

Readers may not access any services in ELTE Libraries until they settle all their debts with the Library.
