How long can I keep items?

Standard loans

All Standard loans can be borrowed for 6 weeks*. Remember that we may ask you to return the item earlier if another Library member requests it - see recalls

• You can renew standard loans if not wanted by another person ( External Borrowers are limited to 5 renewals)
• Holds can be placed on standard loan items - see Placing & cancelling a hold using Enterprise
• Fines are charged for late return on recalled items, currently 80p per day - see Fines

*If another person is already waiting for the item, you will be able to borrow it for 7-days and no renewals will be possible.

7-day loan journals

This is the loan period assigned to Journals/Periodicals.

Semester loans

Semester loans apply to multimedia items, children's books, music scores and play script sets. These items are provided mainly for extended use by students on school placement.
