Rules of use:

• Its use is restricted to members of the university community. Such use must respond to collective study or research tasks, directly related to the academic activity of the UMH.
• To use the rooms it is necessary to make a reservation in person, by telephone or otherwise at the corresponding library counters, where you will be informed of the availability for that day/time.
• One reservation may be made per user per day, during the same day or one day in advance, except for teaching staff and doctoral students, for whom this period is extended.
• If, once a room has been reserved, it is decided not to use it, it is recommended to cancel the reservation, informing the library by telephone so that the room is free and can be reserved by other users.
• A period of 15 minutes is established to maintain the reservation rights of the rooms. If after this period the group does not use the room, the reservation rights will be forfeited.
• If the rooms are empty (either because they have not been reserved, because there has been a cancellation of the reservation or because the 15-minute courtesy period has elapsed), you may go to the library’s lending desk to make a reservation at that time.
• The work rooms are subject to the library’s rules of use, which can be consulted there.

IMPORTANT: If, before occupying a work room, users find any damage, they must inform the library staff, as the users themselves are responsible for the rooms.
