Loan periods* vary according to the type of material and the user category.

* The loan period for books from UABJ is 8 days due to the size of its collection.

** Monographs, theses, dissertations, journals, and other materials.

Exceptionally, with authorization from the User Services Coordination, users may borrow up to 3 additional items beyond the permitted limit, for a maximum period of 24 hours.

Users may renew borrowed materials provided that the item is not overdue and has not been reserved by another user.

The renewal period is the same as the original loan period and is counted from the date the renewal is processed in the system.

Renewals can be made:

• At the libraries;
• At self-service terminals on campus; or
• Through My Pergamum.

Renewal is not permitted for users with outstanding issues, such as overdue materials or unpaid fines.

1. Search for the item in the Pergamum catalog.

2. If all copies are on loan or unavailable, click the Reserve button in the bottom menu, enter your CPF/student ID and password, and confirm the reservation.

You can check the status of your reservation through My Pergamum.

A reserved item will be available for 48 hours, starting from the date the item is returned to the service desk.

Returning materials after the due date results in a fine of R$1.50 per day and per item.

The SIB-UFRPE libraries offer two payment options:

Food Donation

• The replacement must be the same edition as the lost item or a subsequent edition.
• The replacement must be in good condition and must not have mold, marked or stamped pages, torn or mutilated pages, writing or highlighting, or any other damage that could compromise the use or reading of the material.
