When borrowing books from the library, there are some things you need to know:

Loan period and Renewal
The guaranteed loan period is 2 weeks. After this, the loan is automatically renewed unless someone else is on the waiting list or you have reached the maximum loan period of 6 months. You can always log in to Oria to check the due date for your loans.
You do not need to return books until you receive an text message or email notification about the due date.
Collecting available books from the shelf
If a book is available at your UiT library, you must collect it yourself from the shelf. We do not reserve books for students living in the same city as a UiT library – here, it’s first come, first served.
Waiting list
If the book you need is currently on loan, you can add your name to the waiting list by logging in, on Oria and request the book. Once the book is returned or sent from another library, it will be set aside for you. You will be notified as soon as it is ready for collection at the library.
Collecting a requested book
When you have been notified that a book is ready for collection, you can visit the library and locate the pick-up shelf. Inside each book, there is a slip with a pick-up code. Match this code with the one you received via text message or email to locate your reserved book. Please note that the collection deadline is 3 days.
Remote/decentralized students
If you are a distance learning/online student and wish to order books to be sent home, you do not need to consider whether books are available or not. You simply order what you need. You can find more information on the page for ... students."

The University Library has created a couple of videos explaining how to locate books on the shelf for self-collection, as well as a video about the borrowing rules mentioned on this page.
