Reservation of printed books
There are two systems for reserving books from the stacks: mandatory reservation for books kept in off-site stacks, which are fetched
twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays), upon request; and optional reservation for books kept in the on-site stacks, which allows readers to avoid
waiting times by requesting them in advance.
Mandatory reservations must be submitted by midnight on Sundays and Wednesdays; requested books will be available from 10:00 a.m. on the following Mondays and Thursdays. Please indicate on the reservation form the day on which you intend to consult requested materials. In case of impediment, please cancel your request as early as possible by sending an e-mail to (contact by email).
If you wish to receive confirmation of the availability of the requested materials, you can send a request (Send request for confirmation of the availability). An answer will be sent by the end of the following working day. Please note that a confirmation of availability of the materials does not replace the reservation itself.
