Important Changes to the Library Lending Policy
How will this affect me?
Effective Monday 14th February 2005
In Semester 2, 2004 the Library undertook a review of the Information Access Policy. The Information Access Policy covers the Library's collection development and lending policies. The aim of the review was to develop a new policy which addresses the needs of the University community.
As a result of the review a number of significant changes have been made to the Library's lending and access policies whichaffect ALL users of the library.
