Borrowing from the collection
The TU Delft Library collection includes a large number of books available for borrowing. In order to borrow books your company or organisation must be a member. If you are a member, then you can use the search box at the top right to search for books and – after logging in – to borrow a book directly. The book will then be sent to you at a charge.

Rules and conditions for borrowing

|---|---|
Number of books to be borrowed at one time | As a business customer you may borrow as many books at one time as you wish. |
Delivery times | Within 4 working days (standard) or within 1 working day (urgent). If the book is on loan to another customer, then it will be reserved for you and the delivery time will be longer. |
Returning books | You can return the book to us by post. This is at your own expense. |
Overdue | A fine is imposed of € 0.15 per day per book, with a maximum of € 12 per book. You may borrow books again only after any outstanding fines have been paid. If the book has still not been returned after being overdue for 65 days, we will send you an invoice for replacement costs, a fine and a € 25,- administrative charge. |
Reminders | We send out reminders by post when the book is 5 and 65 days overdue. In the intervening period we also send you an e-mail if the books have still not been returned after 20 days. |
Lost or damaged | Have you lost a book? Then you must pay replacement costs, an administrative charge and the regular fine if the book is overdue. |
