- Items on the Reference shelf, or held in Reserve, may be borrowed as a 2 hourly loan but may not leave the library. A librarian will retrieve the item for you and issue it to your library account.
How to renew items
- You can renew your items online, as long as you have not reached the renewal limit, or another user has placed a request or hold for the item. Sign into the library and access My Loans.
- You can contact the Library and we will check the items you have on loan.
- You can bring your items to a librarian within the library, and we will check if the item may be renewed.
- Library resources which have holds or requests placed on them may not be renewed.
- High volume items, such as prescribed texts, may not be allowed additional time.
Returning items
- Items should be returned on the day, or before, they are due back to the library.
Where to return items
- Borrowed items should always be returned into the library.
- You may either return the item into the return’s basket, or hand them directly to a librarian.
- Please note – Items in the return basket have NOT been returned from the previous borrower’s library account and should not be removed by another student until a librarian has returned the item through the library system.
