To borrow and use a book, contact the librarian in person and get full information about the literature you are interested in, namely:

• whether the book you are interested in is available in our library;
• whether you can take the book out;
• for how many days you can take the book out;
• where and when you can take the book out;
• whether you can order it electronically.

To order a book electronically, fill in the following form.

• When ordering a book in electronic format, please give the exact author and title of the book;
• if you do not know the author’s surname or the title of the book, you can find the literature you need in the library’s electronic catalogue opac.gtu.ge;
• within one working day of the order at the latest, you will receive information by e-mail about the availability of the book;
• a reserved book is kept for the reader for 2 days.

Whether each library item can be taken out depends on the category of the book, its quantity and how often it is requested.

The library does not lend:

• a book of which the library has only one copy
• periodicals (journals, newspapers)
• rarities (rare editions, old books)
• dictionaries
• encyclopedias
• maps
• dissertations

The loan period depends on the category of the book in the library, its quantity and how often it is requested:

• fiction – for use on site
• textbook (if the library has a sufficient number of copies) – one semester
• textbook (if the library does not have a sufficient number of copies) – it can be used in the reading room.

The information about the date a library item is issued and returned is an official notification. The reader is obliged to return the material taken out of the library within the specified time.

A reader can extend the return date of a borrowed book only if there is no request for that book.

From the library halls a reader can take out a maximum of 12 books at the same time.
