You can also order loans or copies from the library. You may have to pay for this service.
Renew loan
The loan period is normally 4 weeks. There may be restrictions due to material type or library unit. A loan can be renewed if there is no reservation on it. For external borrowers maximum loan period is 90 days.
Loans can be renewed, as long as no one else has reserved the document. You have to log on to Oria and go to "My Account".
There can be several reasons why you can not renew yourself. In such cases, please contact your local library.
How do you return borrowed documents?
You can return borrowed documents to any of NTNU’s libraries. Use return unit where it is available or place documents in the return box by the library entrance.
