General Information

The department allows loans only to employees of the IMF and to researchers in the HCØ-building. On both the first and the second floor of the library room we have established pc-terminals for loans and return of library books.

Students and guests may use the books in the library and return the books to the library trolley after use.

The database of loans is connected online to The Royal Library and the bibliographical REX database. Users therefore have to be registered in the REX database in order to use the loaning system. Most of you are already registered with the necessary data. To access our loan system you need your cpr-number (without the hyphen) as user id and the four-digit PIN code associated to your KU identity card.

Loan procedure:

1. If the screen is in blank: Press any key.
2. For English version: Click on the flag in upper right hand corner.
3. Click on LOAN.
4. In the box User id : Type your cpr. no. (ten digits without hyphen).
5. In the box Barcode or PIN code: Type your PIN code (four digits).
6. Click OK and the screen now shows your name.
7. Scan the barcode from the book (either on the lower right hand corner of the back cover or on the front cover).
8. The screen now shows the data of the book and a return date. This return date is in 12 month, if you are properly set up in the system.
9. Click on End of session (very important) when your loans are registered.

Note: At the moment it is not possible to print out a receipt.

Previous loans

Please return all of you older loans and make new loans instead. If you do not want renew the loans you may just leave the books on the library trolley next to the entrance door.

Please do not hesitate to contact MATH library if you have any trouble or questions concerning these arrangements. The librarian has online connection to the user database and is able to manage changes og new entries in the system.

The librarian Ole Jørgensen may be reached Tuesdays and Thurdays in office 04.1.17 or by email to bibliotek@math.ku.dk (all days) or by mobile 2917 6801 (all days).

Can't find a book?

If you can't find a given material, start by searching in the database, where you can see if it's been lent out or reported as lost.  If the book is lent out, ask the staff which room has borrowed it.

Suggestions for acquisitions

Please send suggestions for acquisitions for the collection to Henrik Schlichtkrull (monographs) or Jørn B. Olsson (journals).

Regulations

The library must be quiet. Cell phones must be turned off or quieted. Bringing food or drinks into the library is not allowed. Smoking is (as on the rest of the University of Copenhagen) not allowed. You are requested to keep good order on the tables, not to have books longer than you need them, and to make sure these books are registered as borrowed. Additionally, you're referred to the guidelines on the tables.

You are most welcome to talk to the staff in the library - you don't need to whisper.
