Returns on behalf of others can be made without bringing the other persons documents.

If you order a journal from our closed stacks at SOL, the journal will be available for collection after 12.00 the next working day at the SOL Library. If you order a journal from our closed stacks at the Asia Library you will get a notofication when the journal is available to pick up. Journals are not sent to other libraries, and are only available for use in the library.

You can return books in the check-in machine during the libraries opening hours. Next to the LUX Library entrance, there is a book drop which can be used when the library is closed (however, this can only be accessed when the LUX building is open). There is a box outside the Asia Library as well, where you can return books when the building is open.

The nearest returns hatch that can be accessed at any time, is located on the west side of the Lund University Library.

Books dropped in a returns hatch och box are registered in the system as returned the next working day. Textbooks that are overdue by then, will generate an overdue fee.

Our books can be returned at any of the libraries at Lund University.
