Borrow / Return

If you wish to borrow a document from any other CY Library, you can ask for an "Inter-site Loan".  You can request the Inter-site loan by completing the printed form available at the information desk of the university library where you wish to collect the document. This request will be sent to one of our CY libraries which has the desired document. Once the request has been processed, you will be contacted and invited to pick it up.

Readers can return items to any of our librabry, but please note that if you can, you should return your items to the librabry from which they are from, in order to be put available sooner for the others. If you are unable to visit a library, you can send books to us by poste.

Please be aware that journals are excluded from Inter-site loan service, as well as textbooks, educational kits, exams records and exam preparation books from the INSPE library.
