Guide to the Library of the Department of Physics and Astronomy

1. How can you borrow a book from our Library?

  • First you need to register your student’s card at the Library, it costs 12 zł. When registering with the library it is necessary to complete and sign the Declaration of the Library Reader of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań during your first visit in the library.
  • You can borrow 60 vols. for 90 days.
  • Users may renew the loan period via online catalogue or in the library upon presenting the borrowed item – 60 days renewal from the day it is made by the reader.

2. What if you forget to return your books on time or your book has been damaged?

  • You are required to return library materials on time. Users will be held responsible for exceeding the loan period. The library charges a fee (fine) – 30 gr for each day of delay.
  • If your book has been destroyed you would have to buy the copy of the book or similar one (librarians will tell you what to do in this situation).

3. What is the open access to the bookshelves?

  • Open access to the bookshelves means you can find a book on your own in our repositories.
  • We have three kinds of repositories, first is with books and manuals you can borrow home (books have multi-color labels at their backs), second is with books you can use only in the Library (one-color labels yellow), third is closed which means that items are delivered from the stack after a prior request order – only for reading room.

4. How can you find a specific book?

  • If you know the author or a title you can find a bookshelf by our electronic catalogue at the http://lib.amu.edu.pl (also you can find books by choosing subject heading – “hasło przedmiotowe alfabetycznie”).

5. What do you have to do at the end of the Erasmus exchange?

  • When you finish studying in Poland you have to come to the Library and we will check your library account – you have to return all the books and have paid eventual fees.

6. What else you have to know to use our Library?

  • Whenever you want to borrow books, or read in the Library (the reading room) you always have to show your student’s card at the Circulation Desk.
