Loan Periods
Non-loan: These are core titles which are kept available for reference. They have a red spine label*.
Week: These are Audiovisual items, so are non-renewable and non-reservable. They have a yellow spine label*.
Standard: Most Library stock is now 4 week loan, with auto-renewal up to 6 times. If an item is reserved then it will be recalled after 1 week of borrowing. These items have a white label or no label*.
*This simplified loan system was introduced in September 2016, and whilst relabelling continues there will be some books with yellow labels in existence. Always check the loan period and due date that shows on the self-service machine when you borrow.
