Library card and loans

Only students and staff at kea can borrow materials from the library.
KEA alumni can be registered and thereby retain their permission to check out materials by contacting the library staff during the staffed opening hours. It is an advantage if an alumnus can present a former KEA student card.

The UNI-login/KEA-ID is used as the patron identifier. The ID is personal and can not be used by others.

The loaner is liable for all borrowed material.

The lending period is normally 1 month. Please be aware that other lending rules apply for curriculum books and new magazine issues.

It is possible to renew your loans via the following link - provided that the material is not reserved by other loaners: https://kbdk-kea.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/account?vid=45KBDK_KEA:45KBDK_KEA&section=loans

 

Communication and recall notice

General information, recall notices and messages regarding reserved materials will be sent to loaners kea mail.

In the case of alumni, other mail addresses can be used. However - as applies for all loaners - it is at any given time the loaners responsibility to check his/hers kea mail, and regularly make sure that all information (name, address, cpr-number and email) is correct.

The loaner is liable for any material which have been unsuccessfully recalled because of incorrect e-mail/home address.

 

Returning material and compensation

When returning materials to the library, it is possible to get a receipt. The receipt is your guarantee for correctly returning the material.

If a borrowed material is not returned on time, you will receive up to 3 recall messages via e-mail.

If recalled material is not returned to the library 7 days after the 3rd recall e-mail has been sent, the case will be handed over to the finance department at KEA, who will be responsible for sending out invoices.

An invoice covers the following: a fixed unit price pr. book of 300,- DKK, and from August 1st 2016 an administration fee pr. case (not pr. book) of 150,- DKK for covering labour costs. Compendiums and magazines have a permanent compensational fee of 150,- DKK.

If the amount due is not paid on time (according to the invoice due date), the case will be handed over to the tax authorities for collection. Once this is done, return of the books to KEA will no longer be possible.

Loaners permission to loan materials is suspended until the amount due is paid and the library staff is notified of this from the accounting department.

 

Borrowing of Soundboxes

All active students at KEA have the opportunity to borrow a soundbox for up to 7 days. The borrower is responsible for the soundbox during the loan period and must keep the soundbox in their custody throughout the entire loan period. Soundboxes may not be rented out or lent to third parties.

Soundboxes must be booked no earlier than the day before pickup and must be picked up and returned within the staffed opening hours of Centre for Guidance and Academic Support.

If a borrowed soundbox is not returned within 2 opening days after the end of the loan period, the soundbox is considered lost, and the borrower is liable for the total value of a new soundbox, estimated at 8000 DKK, plus an administration fee of 150 DKK. This means that KEA's financial department will send the borrower a total compensation claim of 8150 DKK.

If a soundbox is returned in a damaged condition, it must be repaired or replaced. This is determined by KEA, and the expense is charged to the borrower.

If the borrower violates the terms of the loan agreement, both the individual borrower and associated student association/event may be prohibited from borrowing soundboxes for a period of up to one year.
