Using Libraries

Abstract

Access to Libraries and Information Services Public libraries are open to all and it is not necessary to make any special arrangements to use them, although if you will be registering as a member for loan services (there is no need to register for reference use) the library may need proof of your home address. Most of the services (with the probable exception of online services) are free of charge. To use those libraries and information services of which you are already a member, such as a professional institution, no appointment or notification is needed. Also, if you have a degree or a diploma from a university, polytechnic or college you may be entitled to return and use the library at any later time. Probably you will also be able to use the full range of the library's services, including loans and inter‐library loans.
