1. How do I know if the book I found is available?
Once you have found a book in the OPAC, if you look in the column “Bib/Items” you will see two numbers in brackets (x/y). The first number indicates the number of copies held in the library, the second indicates the number of copies currently on loan.
Example:
In the second case, (2/1) means that there are 2 copies of the book and only 1 is on loan.
Borrowing material – LoansBorrowing material – Loans
