Welcome! The fall is here again and the academic year has begun! With this post, we would like to welcome the university students and future library readers and provide them a brief guide regarding our library services.
We encourage our readers not to postpone the exploration of the library. The sooner you get to know our buildings and services and the sooner you discover the shelves, the easier it will be to complete the semesters one after the other.
Happiness. Something we are all after, still, there are nations who seem to be better at achieving it. Finland, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands score quite high at the UN World Happiness Report year after year. What could possibly be the secret of the Scandinavians?
A book selection about impressionism has been collected for our visitors on the 2nd floor of the University of Pécs Library and Knowledge Centre.
Peculiar paintings presenting picturesque nature. Impressionism brought about a pioneering method to depict the seen by grabbing the essence of light, shades, colors and shapes. A farewell to copying the view and a welcome of spontaneous sensation on the canvas.
Veganuary (vegan January) is a UK non-profit organization that promotes veganism by encouraging people to follow a vegan lifestyle for the month of January.

The University of Pécs Library and Knowledge Centre has reopened it’s doors on 22 June, 2020, so all our library services are now available.
This, of course, raises a number of questions in our readers: What happens with my borrowed books, if I’m already spending my summer break in the other half of the country? What kind of regulations do I have to comply in order to enter the library? What will be the opening hours?
We want to answer these and many more questions in the article below, making it easier to use the library.
Due to the epidemiological situation, we have extended the deadlines of those borrowed documents and library cards which have expired after 11 March. In this case you will be able to apply for your exams on Neptun.
In case you have a debt from a previous period, Neptun might block your registration.
What can be done? What can you do in this case?
You can view your book and money debts in the „Corvina library Catalog” interface (WebPac). You can access them in the reader data menu, and you can start online payment here.
You can find detailed information about the online payment process on the library’s website.
The Neptun block lasts until the debt has been settled. Data is updated hourly between the library system and Neptun. If your exam registration is blocked, you can update the system using this link after the online payment.
Due to the situation we have increased the number of possible extensions by one. Those, who have already reached their extension limits (two), will be able to extend it one more time.
More information about the Neptun restriction is available here.
You can find information about the extraordinary closing here.
Please arrange your library debts in time so that you can start the exams without interruption!
Your questions are often repeated at the registration- and circulation desks of our libraries. Below are the most frequently asked ones and the responses. We will be happy to answer your further questions in person. We look for you in our libraries!
