How long can I borrow a library resource?

Books

• Most library resources can be borrowed for up to four weeks
• some resources can only be borrowed for one week at a time. These items are called 'One-Week Loans' and can be spotted by a yellow 'OWL' (One-Week Loan) sticker on the spine (side) of the book 
• We have a full list of all the loan types and rules.

The School Experience collection is borrowed for a different length of time for Student Teachers. Student Teachers can borrow from the School Experience Collection for 3 months, which is about one school term. Other types of students can borrow School Experience items for one week.

If nobody has requested the book you have borrowed, they can normally be renewed up to fifteen times, this means that you can borrow the book for longer. You can view your due dates and renew your loaned resources on your library account.

Laptops

You can also borrow one laptop and these lend for five hours, as this is the length of the charge. They do not lend with a charger and can only be used on the UON network and so can't be taken off campus.
