Through the e-loan service, MU users have access to more than 10,000 scanned titles of the most frequently required study literature from Masaryk University library collections. An e-loan is the electronic equivalent of a classic physical present loan: an authorized MU user can borrow a scan of a book for a limited time (currently 4 hours) via a computer network. The user can have only one book electronically borrowed at a time, after returning the e-loan he can borrow another book.

The e-loan is available at https://katalog.muni.cz:

1. By clicking on the "E-loans Filter" link, you will filter out of all almost 900 thousand book records of MU only those that are available for e-loan.
2. After clicking on the record of the selected title, the link "E-loans (login with UCO and secondary password)" will appear in the book details.
3. After logging in and if one of the copies of the book is free, you can borrow a scan of the book for a maximum of 4 hours.
4. After the time limit expires (or the e-loan is returned earlier), you can e-loan another book.

The e-loan is available to MU users regardless of the emergency situation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic.

Another extensive source of available e-books for distance learning is the collection "National Digital Library for Works Not Available on the Market" (NDK-DNNT), which provides access to the full texts of Czech books published before 2000, which can no longer be obtained in a regular commercial network or as an e-book (there are about 150,000 Czech book titles).
