spine1

No label
21 days

Students and staff of the University can renew 7 day and 21 day loans to keep them in date, either via Borrower Information or contacting the library in opening hours by telephone 02380 319249 or in person.

Short Loan Items

Short loan items show a pink '1 day loan' label and are books in high demand. They are shelved along with other loan categories in the main book stock.

One day loan items can be loaned overnight using the self-service machines. They have a return date of 11.45 the next day and are not renewable. They should be returned promptly via a self service machine as they accrue high penalty points if returned late.

If you have problems accessing short loan material, please ask a member of library staff for assistance.
