The library of Turku University of Applied Sciences primarily serve the Turku UAS students and staff, but the library is open to other customers as well. Using of library collections and facilities requires following these regulations.
Borrowing of library material requires a library card issued by the Turku UAS library. The minimum age for receiving a library card is 15 years. Identification for customer register is also required. Children under 15 years of age are granted a library card with the written consent of an adult guardian. The guardian must also enter their personal data into the customer register.
The library card is personal. The holder of the card is responsible for his/her card and the material borrowed with it or borrowed with the card of a person they have guaranteed. If you lose your library card, you must report it to the library. After the library has received the announcement of a lost card, the customer is no longer responsible for material borrowed with the card in question.
Students’ personal and contact details are updated into the library management system automatically through the student register (PEPPI).
The loan periods are announced in the campus libraries and on the website of the library. The loan time expires at the due date by the time library closes. Exceptions to this rule (e.g. short loans and reference library loans) are announced at the campus libraries.
Loans are automatically renewed for 12 months as of the loan date unless there are reservations for them. After that loans must either be returned or renewed at the library. It is possible to reserve any material that can be borrowed. The library has the right to prioritize reservations by Turku UAS staff and students. The customer cannot reserve material that he/she has borrowed for him/herself. The library can temporarily or permanently limit the lending of any material that belong to the collection.
Each customer has the right to see the information that has been saved in the library customer register concerning themselves.
Borrowing is free of charge. After the due date, the library charges an overdue fine and charging costs. Breaking the library rules or damaging of library property must be compensated.
The library has the right to charge for any other service except lending. List of fees and other charges are available at the campus libraries and on the website.
The library is not responsible for any damage to customer’s appliances caused by a borrowed material or recording.
The customer may lose their lending rights because of unpaid charges and compensations, or breaking the library rules.
Disruptive behavior at the library may lead to temporary or permanent suspension of lending rights. The library personnel has the right to urge the disruptive customer to leave the library premises.
The library’s customer register complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation and it is exclusively used in loan control. Register information will not be conveyed outside the library (Turku UAS Library’s Privacy Notice).
In addition to general library rules, some campus libraries may have their own specific rules in harmony with those above. All rules and regulations are public information and available in every campus library.
