Renew and reserve

All HU staff and students automatically have a free library membership.
Students can use their student barcode at the self-service machines to borrow items.
Staff members are asked to visit the service desk the first time to request a barcode. This will be printed on the spot and attached to your HU pass. After that, you can quickly and easily borrow and return materials at the self-service machines.

Alumni, Oud Goud members, and other interested parties can apply for a free membership.

You can renew items via HUGO, log in with your HU account. The item can be renewed up to 12 times or until it is reserved by another borrower.

You will receive an email as soon as the title is available on the chosen location.
