Reader Account
This service is reserved exclusively for the Télécom community (students, lecturers, PhD students, staff, etc.).
Télécom Paris users (automatically registered with the library) have a reader account. Via the online catalogue, click on « Account Log In » at the top right of the page (see tutorial).
The reader account gives you access to a number of personalised services:
Consultation and extension of current loans
On your reader account, you ‘ll find a list of current loans, return dates and a history of past loans.
To extend the loan of a document, tick the « Renew » box for the document concerned in the corresponding column.
The « Renew All » box applies the same operation to all loans.
It is not possible to extend a document (the boxes are greyed out) when :
- the document is already overdue ;
- it has been reserved by another reader ;
- you have reached the maximum extension period (3 renewals at most).
Document reservation
When a document is being borrowed by another reader (in which case it is indicated as « Checked out » in the catalogue), you can reserve it via the Reader Account area by clicking on « Place hold » .
When the document is returned by the other reader, an e-mail is sent to you, giving you 7 days to collect it.
