Effective from the beginning of the academic year 2021 (October 18, 2020):

• The purchase of books from research budgets will now be done independently using research funds and not through the library.

The process is as follows:

1. Faculty members can purchase books independently.
2. To receive reimbursement, submit a payment instruction request along with the original invoice and proof of payment (as is customary for consumable equipment purchases).
3. There is no need to register the book in the library catalog, it will not be loaned out, and there is no obligation to return it.
4. The book will remain in the possession of the researcher.
5. The maximum amount for purchasing a single book is up to $300 (including VAT).
6. Books costing more than $300 will be purchased through the old process, via the library (ordered through the library's acquisition department, cataloged, and loaned out for long periods).
