Attention: Media borrowed via MyAlumni are not listed in a personal library account. The management of loans (loan periods, renewals, reminders, etc.) is done exclusively by mail. If you would like to manage your loans in a personal library account, you can register as a private individual on the platform ETH Library@swisscovery.
Documents from the holdings of the ETH Libraries as well as from the holdings of the Central Library Zurich can be picked up free of charge at one of the ETH Library locations. However, if you order courier deliveries from other libraries or article copies through your library account, you then pay the fees for private individuals (the alumni benefits will then not apply!). To order documents free of charge from SLSP libraries and other libraries worldwide, use exclusively the order form on the My Alumni platform.
