Pickup and return boxes

Use of Pickup boxes (K‑BOX)

The pickup box allows to pick up borrowed documents outside library opening hours. It can be used to borrow documents from the Education and Health Care Library and the Bory Library. Users can order the desired books via the online catalog. When placing an order, the user selects the pickup location. The library will borrow the requested documents to the user's reader account and inform them by email, including the PIN used to pick up the document. The pickup deadline is 7 days. After this period, the documents will be returned to the library. Users will pay a fine for uncollected documents according to the Price List.

The books will be held at the library in case of fines and reader account blocks.

Information about current reservations, including the location and date of validity of the reservation, can be found in the reader account.

Use of Return boxes (Biblioboxes)

The UWB University Library together with the Science and Research Library of the Pilsen Region offers readers a service for a quick return of borrowed documents even outside the opening hours of both libraries – book return boxes (biblioboxes).

The return of documents is governed by the applicable Library Rules (Czech only) of the respective library. Books will be marked as returned in the reader's account during the next 3 working days. If  readers return books after the loan period, they will pay late fees on their next visit to the library or by bank transfer (information at the library).

Returns can be checked by logging into one's reader's account in the library's online catalog, by email or by phone.

However, it is not possible to return books from the Library of the Faculty of Economics in Cheb, documents on CD or DVD, and bulky publications via the book return boxes.
