We aim to retrieve items at least once a day, subject to staffing levels. We will let you know via email when an item is available to collect.

The item is held in the library where the store is located for 7 days. Please note that all theses, journals and reference-only items cannot be borrowed and you will not be able to leave the library with these items.

 


Library Users who do not have a library account. 

You are still able to access the items held in our closed stores; however, you won’t be able to request them online. You will need to visit the Information Point during staffed hours. If you are unsure of anything, please contact us before your visit.
