Borrowing

How do I borrow books?
Approach the LRC desk, with your student ID card, if you are not on our system you will be asked for certain details. You then become a member of the LRC for one year (or the duration of your course if this is less).

You can also reserve and search for books via Heritage Online Catalogue

How many books may I borrow?
The number of books depends on your course. The minimum is FOUR, maximum TEN.

How long may I keep them?
Most books are issued for FOUR weeks. Books considered to be in high demand, for ONE WEEK ONLY. Reference books and DVD’s may NOT be borrowed.

Can I renew books?
Standard loan (Four Week) books can be renewed once as long as they are not overdue or reserved for other users. Week only loans cannot be renewed.

Can I reserve books?
Yes at the Help Desk. You will be notified when it becomes available.

What happens if I don't bring my books back?
Out of consideration for other users we do expect books to be returned on or before the due date stamped inside the book. The standard charge for overdue books is 10p per item per day, 25p per day on weekly loans. This does not include weekends or holidays.

If not returned on time you will receive an overdue letter, failure to respond will result in further action.

You will not be able to loan other books, until overdue books are returned. Your computer rights may also be withdrawn.
