You may borrow up to five books.

A book marked with red tape is not available for borrowing. It can only be used inside the library.

When all copies of a book are checked out, it can be ordered. This will stop the former loan automatic renewal, and an email will be sent to the reader holding the book, notifying them that it must be returned to the library.

My Runi > Library website > Search for the book in the library catalogue > Click on “Request.”
You should check your reader card to confirm the order was received, and monitor the status of the request

Once the book is returned, you will receive an email, and the book will be held for you at the front desk for 24 hours.

It depends on the type of book. Some books can be borrowed for two days, a week, or two weeks, while others cannot be borrowed at all

The loan period for books that have not been ordered by another reader is automatically extended daily. Automatic renewal will not occur if: the book has been ordered by another reader, the borrower has overdue books, or the reader’s library card has expired.

Fines can be paid at the Tuition Office or online via your reader card. The reader must send the receipt to the library email at RUlibrary@runi.ac.il and verify it has been received and the fine has been released.

There is a designated returns box located on the exterior wall next to the library entrance.

Books in the library are arranged by subject, each represented by a number. The books are placed on the shelves in a continuous sequence based on these numbers. In addition to the number, each book is assigned a sequence of three letters listed below the number, representing the name of the author or title.

To locate a printed book, go to the library catalog, find the desired book, and check its identification number. Then, go to the library in person and locate the book on the shelf that has these numbers and letters. If needed, you can ask for help at the front desk.
