Book Lending

Service Description
(including technical
requirements/Specifications)

Students and Staff of the University of Ulster can borrow materials for use outside the library. Other registered users may have borrowing rights. Most items borrowed are books. Detailed items and conditions specify how many items can be borrowed by each type of user, and for how long. Items in heavy demand or in particular formats may be offered to lend for shorter periods than other items. Items must be returned by the time specified, or be renewed if that is allowable. Items not returned on time will usually incur a fine. Items on loan but requested by other users must usually be returned to the library. Detailed information can be found at: http://library.ulster.ac.uk/info/
