Access to the Library

Your University card is also your Library card, which you require to access the Library and to borrow items.

Please have you card ready to scan to access and exit the Library.

Issuing Students Reference Passes is time consuming and creates queues at the entrance. Currently students can be issued with a maximum of 3 passes per term. An administration fee of £1 will be added to student accounts for the 3rd and any subsequent passes.

Borrowing for undergraduates

Borrowing

Standard Loans and 3 Day Loans can be borrowed using the self-issue machines on Floor1. Following the on screen instructions scan your University ID card in front of the blue 'eye' scanner. Place your book, with spine facing downwards into the V, and push to the back of the V. Please remember to close your account before you leave the self-issue machine.

Short Loan and DVDs/videos can be borrowed using the self-issue machines in the Short Loan Area on Floor 1.

Renewing - you can renew you books using the self-issue machines or online via your My Library Account.

Recall

All borrowers should be aware that books may be recalled at any time

Returning

All borrowed items should be returned using the automated returns machines on Floor 1.

Requesting a Hold

Users can place a hold request on items currently issued or on the holdshelf. Such hold requests are only acceptable for items when all copies are on the loan or on the holdshelf.

Overdues

If an item is not returned by the due date, it is considered to be overdue and is subject to overdue fines. Email notices will be sent to your Warwick email account. Please note that it is the borrower's responsibility to return items on time and to return all items before overseas trips. The Library will not accept non-receipt of overdue notices as a reason for waiving fines.
