Collection, Returns and Renewals
Collection of Inter Library Loans
When the requested item has been received you will automatically be notified of this via your university e-mail.
- all items must be collected at the Issue Desk (Broadstairs/Salomons) or the ground floor Library point (Augustine House) and will be issued on your library ticket
- please collect books as soon as possible as they are on loan to us for a limited period only
- if you are borrowing a thesis from another library, an additional copyright declaration may need be signed at this stage
The length of a loan is decided by the library that supplies the item to us and tends to be from 4-5 weeks. Items may be recalled by the lending library at any time, and some items can only be used on library premises.
Returning Inter Library Loans
- photocopies are issued for you to keep
- all loan items (mainly books) will need to be returned to the Issue Desk or staffed Library Point by the due date indicated on the slip inside the item
- books may be recalled early
Renewals
Inter-library loans generally cannot be renewed beyond the date indicated. However, if you would like us to check with the lender if a renewal is possible, please ask the inter-library loans team at least five working days before your item is due back.
ALL inter-library loans are subject to recall by the library who lends them out. If you are asked to return an inter-library loan, it is imperative that you do so.
If you have any queries relating to inter-library loans, contact 01227 782138 during office hours.
