Workspaces and Lockers

'First-come, first-served'  Workspaces

The Library operates a system where the 196 workspaces are not allocated to individuals.

Desks can be used on a day-at-a-time basis for anyone with Library access rights. These spaces are cleared of all material every day before Library opening.

This policy does not apply to disabled researchers who can apply for an assigned workspace by using the application form .

For more information see Workspaces and Lockers  under Academic Service.

Lockers

• The Library has 238 lockers for EUI members, allocated by Academic Service  from the beginning of October to mid-September. Lockers must be cleared and keys returned before the beginning of the next academic year regardless of whether a re-issue is requested.
• Users can store (i.e. overnight or longer) research material and borrowed Library material with a current date slip.
• The locker key is registered to the user’s Library account with a return date. Users must clear the locker and return the key by this date or when requested to do so by the Library.
• You will be fined for an overdue locker key and billed for the replacement cost of a lost or unreturned key. See Library Fines . Users who lose their locker keys must inform the library.
• During the period for which they have borrowed a locker-key, users may store at their own risk items needed for their research. Borrowed Library material without a current date slip, library material which has not been checked out (including material that cannot be borrowed such as journals and reference material), and food and drink cannot be stored in the locker.
• Lockers are not a secure personal space and the Library takes no responsibility for personal belongings and valuables stored in them. The Library reserves the right to inspect lockers and to withdraw locker rights if the rules are not observed. Lockers will be cleared by the Library if, after due notice, the key-holders fail to clear them.
• Infractions of the Rules  will lead to the immediate withdrawal of locker rights.
