How do I keep up to date with my borrowing?

You need to check My Library Account regularly to find out if requests have been placed on books you have on loan. You can access My Library Account form Library Online.

Can I post books back to you?

You may need to return books by post if they have been requested by someone else.  Notification that a book is required by comes with details of how to return books using Freepost. 

How do I renew books while on placement?

Books on loan are automatically renewed every week for up to one year unless they have been requested by someone else.

When on placement, you still need to check your university emails regularly as you will be alerted if a book has been requested by someone else. If we have your mobile phone number we will also alert you by text if you need to return a book. 

If you are not able to return recalled books in person you can return them by Freepost. 

Access to other university libraries

If your placement is longer than six weeks you may be able to apply for borrowing rights at another university library through the SCONUL Access scheme.

Many schools subscribe to a schools' library service.

The Schools Library Service is there to provide the following support:

• the borrowing of up-to-date, newly-published and specialist children’s materials to support both the curriculum and reading for fun.
