Can I borrow during a break period for my course?

You are more than welcome to borrow resources over these periods, sometimes called vacation or the holidays. Please remember that you are expected to renew your items when they are due, and to return items requested by others. We do have a postal service if you are away and want to return items. Items from our collection should not be taken outside of the UK.

Most resources can be renewed up to fifteen times, provided they have not been requested by other users. If you are unable to renew your resources, they will need to be returned. 

You can also continue to use eResources that are available to you through NELSON.

If you are taking a study break from your course then you will need to return your library resources, as you have to be a current student to use resources and services. All of these rights are restored when you start studying with us again.
