Borrowing Books
All students are able to borrow a maximum of 20 books (25 for those on postgraduate study), on a four week loan period. Books can be renewed as many times as required as long as they have not been requested by another library member.
Books can be renewed via the library catalogue, by email or by phoning the library.
The library has a self-issue system that you will be shown how to operate on your first visit to the library. Library members are responsible for the issue and return of their own library books and it is important that items are not removed from the library without having been issued first.
