Consultation

Direct access

Anyone with a reader's card can consult books and journals in the reading room. The majority of documents are available for direct access, and two photocopiers are also available to readers.

Books on reserve

About 450 books are stored at the reception desk and are only available for consultation. The shelf mark of these documents ends with the term "Reserve". To consult them, you must present yourself at the counter with your reader's card and the reference (call number and title).

To help you locate the documents, we invite you to consult the "Location of documents" section.

Borrowing

Students and people from outside the Faculty of Law can borrow three books maximum for an evening or weekend. The loan is renewable once, at the Library reception desk or by telephone. Failure to return a book within the required time will result in the payment of a fine of €0.5 per working day and per book. The loan of books is suspended until all fines have been paid. In the event of a repeat offence, the right to borrow is suspended until the end of the current academic year.

Staff members of the Faculty of Law may borrow an unlimited number of books for a period of two months. The Library nevertheless reserves the right to request the return of borrowed books at any time. Failure to return a work within the required time limit will result in suspension of borrowing rights.
Law Faculty staff members may nevertheless borrow a maximum of one work from the counter reserve, for a limited period of two days.

Certain documents may not be borrowed:

  • Periodicals
  • Documents with a green sticker
  • Encylopedias, dictionaries, codes, loose-leaf works
  • Reserve works (red sticker)

Borrowers are personally responsible for the works they borrow. Any borrower who has damaged a work during consultation or borrowing must pay for its restoration or replacement.
