With regard to the study spaces at the faculties, students are requested to stay at home and study at home, in accordance with the national guidelines. Only if you really have no other option, you can come to one of the UvA Buildings that is still open to study. Please see the overview under 'Which UvA Buildings are still open?' on this page.
Of course you should only do this if you do not have flu or cold symptoms.
The physical lending facilities of the Library will close as of 12:00 on 6 April. The Library will be providing an alternative online service. The last requests for physical books and other printed materials can be submitted until 12:00 on Thursday, 2 April via the catalogue. You will be informed when you can pick them up as soon as possible. You have until 12:00 on 6 April to pick materials up.
As the physical lending facilities are closing you need to pick up the book before 12:00 on Monday, 6 April.
Yes, you can. It is important for us to continue providing this service for staff and students during this period. That is why every request for a physical book or other print materials will be forwarded to one of the library’s information specialists. They will look for an online version or other alternative.
If an electronic version is not available, will discuss alternatives with the person requesting the material, such as scanning part of the book. As a last resort, if no other option is available, the physical book can be supplied.
Requests for printed materials can be submitted via the request form on the page Ask the Library, selecting the option ‘ Request materials’.
If you have questions you can contact the Library via Ask the Library. Do you have questions relating to a specific discipline? Then you can email the relevant information specialist.
You can return books until 12:00 on Monday, 6 April. After that, the physical lending facilities will close.
If you have questions you can contact the Library via Ask the Library. Do you have questions relating to a specific discipline? Then you can email the relevant information specialist.
Our advice is to work and study at home and not to come to the UvA. If it is essential for you to print something and you have no other way of doing this, you can come to one of the UvA buildings that is still open.
Of course you should only do this if you do not have flu or cold symptoms.
The mail will still be delivered in the MyPup lockers. If you do not want to receive your mail through these lockers, you can sent an e-mail to mailcentrum@uva.nl with your PO box number. Your mail will be stored for you.
