Library Catalog
The printed collection of the Técnico Library is integrated into the Lisbon University’s Online Catalog.
This catalog allows users to search the collection of the Técnico Library, as well as the collections of other organizational units of the Lisbon University.
Access to the catalog is open, but the lending of books and other materials managed by the Técnico Library is subject to a set of rules:
User Registration
| The lending service is available to all users registered with the Técnico Library. Registration is automated and based on the data available at Fenix. The registered user will have access to a personal area in the Online Catalog, where they can reserve materials, request acquisitions, and view their search and borrowing history.
Users not registered in Fenix must regularize their situation with the IT Services before requesting library access. |
Borrowing
| After identifying the desired document(s) in the Online Catalog, the user must go to the Library that holds the material to request the loan and collect the item(s). The maximum number of documents and the loan duration depends on the type of user. |
Renewal
| Loans can be renewed up to two times through the user’s personal area in the Online Catalog or in person at any Library location. |
Returns
| Items must be returned to the specific Library location where they were borrowed, within the stipulated deadline. |
Reservation
| It is possible to place holds on items in the Online Catalog.
