The Restricted Loan collection:
- Is kept behind the Service Desk and contains items that are in heavy demand.
- These are available for short-term loan periods to ensure that all users have a chance to read them.
- Items are available for one of the following loan periods:
- 1 or 2 hours - use in the Library only
- 24 hours - these may leave the Library. This is calculated using only the hours during which the Library is open.
To borrow a Restricted Loan item:
- Search for the item in the Restricted Loan tab of the Library Catalogue using course code or lecturer’s name.
- With the item record displayed, check the Status column to see if the item is “In” (if the Status is “On loan” you can reserve the item for another time - see below).
- Write down the title and call number of the item.
- Ask for the item at the Service Desk, using the title and call number.
5. Return the item on time. There are fines for late returns!
