* If someone places a reservation on the Long Loan or Document you have borrowed it will reduce your loan period to one week; we will send you an email letting you know. If short loan or other items are reserved then it will not be possible to renew them. Don't forget that items may be reserved and recalled over the vacations too. Make sure you check your university email regularly to avoid missing any notices.
** There is an individual limit of 50 interlibrary requests each academic year for postgraduates and faculty. For undergraduates the limit is 20 per year and for Associate membership, the annual limit is 5.
