What is the process for borrowing a document from a CAIJ Self-Service Co-Working Library?

Last updated: 5 September 2025

In self-service libraries, i.e. those without staff, document loans are authorized.

The loan is made on good faith and honor. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Locate the document in the Library Catalog available on Espace CAIJ, or directly on the shelves of the co-working library.
  2. Then fill in all the necessary information in the loan binder (which is always in plain view in our self-service libraries).
    IMPORTANT: please write your name, the book borrowed (its barcode) and the date. This will enable us to keep track of you.
  3. Documents borrowed from a co-working library must be returned to the same library.
  4. Simply leave the documents on a table when you return.
