The library facilities are accessible to all members of the Alte University community, including students, academic and adjunct faculty, alumni, employers collaborating under university agreements, administrative and support staff, as well as students and faculty from affiliated educational institutions.
Student access to the library is automated upon enrollment, once their personal information is registered in the university's database. For faculty and other university personnel, library access is managed based on data provided by the Human Resources and Administration Department, including name, surname, ID number, and email.
Library users can remotely reserve desired books through the library's electronic platform. Reserved books are held under the user's name for a period of three working days before being issued. Failure to collect a reserved book within this timeframe results in reservation cancellation.
Students visiting the library are identified by their personal number or student identification code. Any changes to a reader's personal information, such as name, address, ID, or contact details, must be promptly reported to library staff.
Each reader number is designated for individual use and cannot be shared with others. Familiarity with library regulations is mandatory for all patrons.
In cases of library rule violations, a reader's unique number may be temporarily suspended, resulting in restricted access to library resources for a specified duration.
