Submitting Short Loans Requests
Information for Academic Staff
The library provides a short loans service in which essential course readings are either placed on reserve (2 hour loan) or, for material that can be scanned and/or linked online, a digital copy is linked through the catalogue (Short Loans Online). This ensures that all students can access essential reading material throughout their course.
For comprehensive information about short loans and short loans online, including the type of material which can be included, processing times and what to do if your course is run on multiple campuses, please download the Short Loans Guide for Staff.

3 Day or 1 Week Loans
The Library offers 3 day and 1 week loan categories for recommended reading material which is not required for short loan. These items are shelved amongst the general collection.
We encourage you to make use of these loan periods, to help maintain the effective operation of the Short Loans Collection, and to ensure students have reasonable access to popular items without restricting borrowing to a 2 hour period.
