No, unfortunately. We do not lend individual issues or bound volumes of periodicals by absentee loan.
However, we can make a copy of the article / chapter for you.
Since we have more than 4 million books in our collection, it is not physically possible to put them all in the study rooms. Therefore, some books need to be placed in the storerooms. It takes approximately one hour for your request to reach the responsible staff member who will locate the items you have ordered in our depositories and prepare it on your shelf. The best approach is to order books the day before you arrive at the library - the books will then be ready for you the next morning. To ensure that the book is ready the same day, it must be ordered no later than 6pm on weekdays. The warehouse does not dispatch on Saturdays.
If you are no longer interested, you can cancel your reservation through your reader account. Click on "Holds and Recalls", select the reservation you wish to cancel and click on the "cancel selected holds" button.
Books can be ordered in our online catalogue, by first logging in, then searching for the book you are interested in and clicking on the "Order from stock" link next to the selected copy. Once you have selected an expiry date for your request, click on the "OK" button to order the book.

You can extend your loan through your reader account.
Click on log in in the top right hand corner (on our website) - then fill in your details and once you are logged in, you will see "Your Checked Out Items" page where you can renew one or more of your loans.
Such an approach is common practice in libraries of similar type in the Czech Republic and abroad. The main reason for this is to protect the unique preservation collection. Other reasons are consideration (taking up more space) and the desire to prevent destruction/soiling of furniture, especially chair covers.
No, the library does not provide such a service. Please order books through our online catalogue.
For easier logging in, we recommend entering a nickname, which you can then use instead of a long library card number.
In the online catalogue, click on log in, select "Card number recovery" and follow the instructions.
