PhD students

Remote access through a Proxy

To access the digital resources provided by the University of Urbino outside of campus, it is necessary to activate the library proxy.

Loan and renewal

In order to borrow books, the registration for library services is needed: it can be processed either in person or through the Ask the Library service. 

PhD students can borrow up to 50 books simultaneously for a period of 180 days. 

The loans can be renewed for an additional 180 days: the request can be made, in person, by email, by phone or through the Ask the Library service.

Reserve a book

If the book you would like to borrow is already on loan to another user, you can reserve it by contacting the library staff   in person or through the Ask the Library service.

Interlibrary loan of books and scientific papers

It is possible to request from other libraries, both in Italy and abroad, books and scientific papers not owned by Urbino University libraries.

This service is usually free of charge, however sometimes can be requested a reimbursement of the expenses; so we invite you to carefully check our catalogue before requesting a book or an article to other libraries.

The service is available by contacting the library staff  in person or through the Ask the Library service.

 Purchase recommendation 

Through the Ask the Library service, it is possible to submit a purchase recommendation for books not listed in the Library catalogue: the library department will evaluate the suggestion.
