You can pick up the book in person at the university library which owns it. In this case, no appointment is necessary.

You will always have to prove your identity with your UOC card.

Before going, and only the first time, you'll need to sign in to My account with your Virtual Campus username and password to automatically update your details as a user of the loan service.

We only provide a hard copy of a book on loan when a digital version is not available.

When you request a loan, we'll first look to find the book in digital format. If we find it, we'll add it to our collection so that other people can read it and we'll provide you with the link.

As a digital library, we make every effort to add to our digital collection because more people can access the works instantly, from anywhere and at any time.
