In order to permit us to offer hospitality to all guests of the UNIDROIT library, you are kindly requested to observe the rules below:

- Library users must hold a current library card, which must be issued on request at the reference desk.
- All cell phones should be switched off or to "silent ring" when entering the library.
- Smoking and eating are forbidden in the library. Bottled water is permitted.
- The library accepts no responsibility for any personal property brought into the library.
- No unauthorised person shall enter or be in the library for any purpose when the building is formally closed.

Loans and books requests

At the entrance of the Library you will find a helpdesk with staff at your disposal. Furthermore, the helpdesk is the place where to ask and check out your books.

The Library is a reference library and its holdings are stored in closed stacks. There is no free access on the items, neither in the reading areas nor in the storage rooms.
No book, periodical or other library material may be removed from the library until the prescribed loan form for it has been completed, signed and handled in at the delivery desk. An extramural loan is not permitted.

There are two copiers located in the Library. Copy cards are sold at the reference desk. Any person making use of the photocopying facilities of the library shall comply with current law on copyright.

The requested materials will be brought directly from the stacks following your order and handled out at the delivery desk. You may have on loan up to 5 books at a time. Requests are only accepted until 13:00 p.m.
