Important Information:
Y.T.Ü. faculty members, students, and administrative staff can enter the library using their university ID cards and access library services after completing the membership process.
From the moment they become members, library users are required to comply not only with the general rules outlined in the Library Guidelines but also with the Library Usage Rules established by the Department.
Members are required to notify the library of any changes to their ID, cell phone number, or address. Otherwise, the Department is not responsible for any consequences arising from the inability to contact members.
In the event that academic and administrative staff leave the university due to resignation, retirement, or transfer, or students leave due to graduation, withdrawal, or similar reasons, they are required to have their “Termination of Affiliation Form” approved by the library. Members’ termination certificates will not be signed until they have returned the information resources they have borrowed and paid any outstanding fines.
