As a user of the EUI Library, you are part of a community that includes visiting and external researchers. Fines are applied to ensure responsible use of resources and maintain access for all users.

Overdue items

• It is your responsibility to manage loans, renew or return items on time. Check your My Library Account for current loans and any outstanding fines.
• Fines apply to all users, without exception, for:
  • Overdue books
  • Interlibrary Loans (ILLs)
  • Locker keys
  • Other library materials
• Access to e-resources will be temporarily suspended if fines exceed €50. Access is restored once payment is made and proof is provided.

Renewals:

• Items overdue by less than 30 days (without a recall) may be renewed.
• Items overdue by more than 30 days cannot be renewed.

How fines are calculated

• Fines are calculated automatically based on days overdue and type of material.
• Days when the EUI is closed are not counted.

Item type	Fine per day	Automatic Penalty
Normal loans/Overnight loans	€0.50	€70 after 1 month overdue
Interlibrary Loans	€1	€70 after 1 month overdue
Locker keys	€0.50	€70 for replacement
