Borrowing
Registered users may borrow up to 6 items, 2 of which can be DVDs. Items are issued for 1 week or 4 weeks. Any item which is not renewed or returned by the due date shown will incur fines of 10p per item per day until returned. Items can be renewed twice without being returned to the library. You can renew items in the libraries, by telephone, or via the My Account facility of the library catalogue. Please enter your student number in the borrower ID field, and the last 4 digits of the same number in the PIN field. If you have fines of more than £2 or books more than 4 weeks overdue, you will not be allowed to use library facilities.
To use library electronic resources, users must register for an Athens password. Registration must take place on campus. Ask staff for details of how to register.
