When the Information Desks are unstaffed
You will still be able to:
use the self-service machines to borrow and return books
use the computers, scanners, copiers and printers
use the top-up machines to add printing and copying credit
use the group study rooms
pay fines of £3 or more online through MUSE
You will not be able to:
collect reserved books
pay fines in person
buy anything from the Level 0 desk
get assistance with using the Computing or Library systems
There will be no shelving staff, so returned books will not be re-shelved or sorted onto the holding areas.

Over the vacation, you can borrow books for longer. See the table below for details.
Normal Loans

Please note that items can be reserved as normal throughout the vacation, but won't be recalled. The only way you can ensure that you can keep them for the whole vacation is to borrow or renew them during the last week of semester.
If a book has been reserved for someone else you may not be able to renew it over the vacation and will be liable for any fines incurred.
If you encounter any difficulties, please contact the Renewals Hotline on: 0114 22 27201.
