* Renewals are unlimited unless the item has been requested by another user.

Borrowed materials may be recalled before their due date if they are needed for the Reserve Collection or to meet an urgent need of another university member.

Student Reserve materials with two or more copies may be borrowed for longer periods (1, 2, or 3 days), depending on demand and usage levels.

For materials temporarily obtained through Interlibrary Loan (ILL), the lending policies of the supplying library determine the loan period. Requests for loan renewals must be sent to [email protected].

Lost and Damaged Information Resources

If a borrowed printed resource is lost or damaged, the user is charged the current replacement cost of the item plus a processing fee.

The current list price provided by suppliers is used when calculating the cost of lost or damaged information resources. For out-of-print materials, the replacement cost is determined through research conducted with available vendors and suppliers.

The processing fee is 60 TL for 2026.

Borrowing privileges are suspended until the replacement cost of the lost or damaged information resource has been fully compensated.
