Reserved Books Loans

There is no limit to the number of reserved books that can be loaned at one time for students or faculty. The Reserve room is an open-shelf collection. Readers can go to the shelves and choose the desired books themselves. Books are loaned at the Reserve desk by presenting an identity card (such as a student card or a faculty card) that proves eligibility for library services.

Loan period of Reserved books

Books with black tape can be loaned overnight (from two hours prior to the closing of the library until 10:00 the next day), for two hours during the day or for a week-end (from Thursday at 15:45 till Sunday at 10:00).
Books with grey tape or grey/green tape can be loaned at any time during library opening hours for three days.

Returning of Reserved books

Reserved books can be returned at any time during library opening hours. Overnight loans must be returned by 10:00 the next day. Fines will be incurred on overdue books for each day each book is overdue (not including days that the library is closed). Readers with overdue books or unpaid fines are not entitled to library services until their fines have been paid. Readers may submit requests to cancel or to reduce the amount of a fine. Reserved books can be returned by mail or courier. The discharge date is the date that the books arrive in the Reserve room. It is the reader's responsibility to make sure that books arrive in the Reserve room and are discharged. After library opening hours Reserved books can be returned to the "Return box" on the fourth floor of Eshkol tower. The return date will be considered the next library opening day.

Renewing Reserved books

The items will be renewed automatically unless they are requested by another patron. We strongly advise that you regularly check your account on the library home page for updates.. Books that have been requested by other readers will not be renewed.

Acquisitions, Cataloging and Clasification

The Acquisitions, Cataloging and Clasification services purchases, catalogs and classifies materials and also handles binding and repair
of books. The objective of the service is to speedily order and process print and non-print materials selected by faculty and librarians for study and research purposes.

Order Policy

The University of Haifa Library Acquisitions librarians and Collection Development specialists assist faculty and staff in selecting and purchasing books, software, and audio-visual materials that are required for teaching, study, and research. Materials are purchased in Israel and imported from abroad according to the guidelines in our collection development policy.

Since it takes several months for materials to arrive from abroad, we recommend that order requests for foreign materials required for courses be submitted 6 months in advance to ensure timely arrival and processing. Current information about new publications is available on the internet in various acquisitions sources. Publishers' catalogs and promotional material are distributed regularly to each department's library liaison person for review and selection. All resources already in the library and those on order are listed in One search - the online public access catalog.

Faculty and staff of the University of Haifa may recommend materials for purchase by the library. Submit order requests to your subject specialist or to one of our addresses, by any of the following means:

Mark desired titles with your signature directly in publishers' catalogs, advertisements, bibliographies, etc., and submit them by mail, fax or personally.

Send an order request by E-Mail to the Acquisitions Department, using our electronic order forms (Hebrew or English).

Complete a printed order form available in the Acquisitions Department and at all library service desks.

Orders for non-Hebrew/Arabic materials are handled by the Foreign Language Services. Orders for Hebrew or Arabic materials are handled by the Hebrew and Arabic services. Requests for new journal subscriptions are handled by the Periodicals Department. Orders for non book materials (maps, video, multimedia, etc.) are handled by the Media Department.

Faculty and staff who wish to order books for their personal office use (in any language) may do so by charging the purchase to a departmental or research budget.

Personal orders should be submitted on a university purchase order form (tofes drisha), including the details of the requested material, the budget number to be charged, and signed by the authorized budget manager.Materials received as personal orders may be kept on permanent loan.

Teaching and research assistants may submit orders for the library on behalf of faculty members with their permission. Doctoral students who need materials for their own research can request a research grant from the Graduate Studies Authority. The Authority will submit orders to the library on the student's behalf to be paid from his/her research account. The books are given to the student on permanent loan to be returned to the library when the student completes his affiliation with the university.
Please rank each order requests in order of priority, so we can process them in the optimal sequence, according to the rankings below:

• COURSE: required reading for my students

1. RUSH: Needed for my research/teaching in this academic year. Please specify if item is required reading for students.

2. Needed for my future research/teaching.

3. Recommended for the library collection.

Faculty and staff of the University of Haifa may request any of the following services when ordering materials for the library.
If special treatment is required for an order, please indicate the service(s) desired on the order request.

RESERVE - When the book arrives, it will be sent directly to the Library Reserved Reading Room.
HOLD - When the book arrives, it will be held for you in the Library Circulation Department (for 7 working days). You will receive notification
accordingly.
RETURN - The catalog or bibliography that you submitted will be returned to you after the order has been processed.
