Book loans and returns

• All books on loan will now be due on the 15 February 2021. This is to account for the National Lockdown. Please check your library account and contact us if your books have not renewed. You will be unable to recall a book during this time.
• The Reserve and Collect service has been suspended as you can now access the library at any time to loan books.
• You can return your books, including Inter Library Loans, in the red returns bin located in the Level 1 Foyer. Please note: your returned books will be placed in quarantine for 72 hours in line with current guidance.

Inter Library Loans

We are currently unable to supply Inter Library Loan book requests due to the national lockdown. You can still make article and chapter requests. If you need help accessing alternative resources, please speak to your Information Specialist.
