No issue is available for loan until six months after publication. It is not possible to guarantee delivery, or to say when an item will be supplied. Only one article can be supplied as a photocopy from any issue of a journal, due to copyright legislation. When an item is received, photocopies will be sent to your pigeon hole in the School for you to keep. For loans, a notice will be sent to wherever you are normally notified for reservations and overdues.
Loans are for three weeks with a possible three week extension.
Applications for extension of the loan have to be made to the Service Counter. Loans which are not returned on time may be liable to a fine of 70.36. Some items will be for reference only within the Library building - these conditions are laid down by the lending library and have to be adhered to. A large amount of material published outside the UK is available from libraries in this country. It is possible to obtain material from almost anywhere in the world but remember that the time needed to trace the item may be months not weeks.
