Guías BibUpo: Eureka (English version): Reservations

How does the reservations system work?

In Eureka, the user can reserve loan copies using this feature by joining the queue for reserving the required title.

The maximum of titles you can booked depends on the type of user you are:
Undergraduate and Dual Degrees students --> up to 7 books at the same time
TFG and Administration staff --> up to 10 books at the same time
Masters Degree --> up to 15 books at the same time
Teachers, researchers and research groups --> up to 20 books at the same time
There is a 2-day period to collect any books you have reserved from the time it is placed on the counter shelf (after that you will lose any rights to it).
The system will NOT accept the reservation when:
- The user has existing fines or has been blocked due to an infraction.
- The user has already reserved the maximum of books allowed.
Cases in which reservations CANNOT be made:
- Titles with an available copy; except for editions in different volumes or with attached material (CDs, DVDs, etc.)
- Copies intended to be only used at the library.

Procedure

Search Eureka for the title of the book you are interested in.
If the book is on loan, the message "Not available" appears. Once inside the record, check that there are no copies available in the reading room.
Click "Request”.
Before you submit your request, you can include the date from which you would no longer need the book and some comments.

Reservations are made by default on the first copy of a returned title. This type of document only has one reservations queue per title and year of publication.
