The teaching staff of the University of Barcelona can take to the lecture room all required material as an academic loan. This material has to be returned the same day to the library.

• Departments can borrow documents from the library during the academic year, excluding those items that, for their frequency of use, number of available copies, and other circumstances, could disturb the normal functioning of the library.
• Documents can be requested, borrowed and returned any time during the course. On 30 June there will be an annual counting and, if necessary, renewals will be made for the next course.
• Each department has to appoint two persons responsible for the material on loan and to communicate it to the head of the corresponding library.
• In the event of loss or damage, the department will assume responsibility as the administrative unit.
• In case one of these documents were requested by a user, the library has to inform the person of the department in charge of them in order to deal with the request within a week. The request can be for a consultation or for a loan which can be either "renewable or not", according to the department instructions.
