Items which are in high demand, this may be items on reading lists, are placed on Short Loan by lecturers. This is to enable access for as many students as possible.
These books are held in the Short Loan Room and may be borrowed for 4 hours at a time during the day. Items in the Short Loan Room must be issued using the self-issue machine, before removal from the room.
