Enhancement of borrowing entitlements for undergraduate and taught postgraduate students

To improve our support for your learning needs, the Library has introduced the following improvements to services:

EXTENDED LOAN PERIOD
Undergraduates: During term time regular loan items will be issued for 3 weeks from the date you borrow.

Taught postgraduates: During term time regular loan items will be issued for 4 weeks from the date you borrow. 

INCREASED NUMBER OF LOANS
Undergraduates: You can now borrow up to 20 items at a time, plus a maximum of two 1-Day Loan items. 

Taught postgraduates: You can now borrow up to 30 items at a time, plus a maximum of two 1-Day Loan items. 

ADDITIONAL RENEWALS
Undergraduates: You can now renew 3 week and 7 day loan items 15 times and 3 day loan items 6 times. 

Taught Postgraduates: Unlimited renewals. 

You can renew items online at My Library Record or by phoning the Harold Cohen or Sydney Jones Library Helpdesks on 0151 794 5411/2 or 0151 794 2678/9 during staffed hours.

1 day loan items and items reserved by someone else cannot be renewed.

Please continue to return books you no longer need promptly for the benefit of others.

Annual recall of Staff loans 2012

The annual recall of Staff loans is now underway.

If you've any books due back in June, they must be returned or reissued to you in the Library during the month of June.

Renewals aren't permitted during the recall period, except for 3 and 7 day loans and Inter-Library Loan books.

Telephone renewals only available during staffed hours

The Library's automated telephone renewals service is currently out of service.

However, you can still use the same phone number - 0151 794 5010 - to speak to a member of staff (see staffed hours), who will be happy to renew your books for you.

You can also continue to use My Library Record as normal to renew your books any time.

Borrowing books over Christmas

The Library remains open during the Christmas vacation (see opening hours) and the loan procedure remains unchanged throughout this period.

This means that books will incur fines if they are not renewed or returned by the due date.

• - You can renew your books online via My Library Record
• - You can use the 24/7 telephone renewal line: 0151-794-5010

You are allowed 12 renewals on 14-day and 7-day loan items and 6 renewals on 3-day loan items. Once this limit has been reached you need to return the books to the Library, remove them from your record and start the loan process afresh. You cannot take them out again or renew them if they have been requested by another user.

A requested book can be posted back to the Library. Please ensure that you obtain receipt of postage. Postal address:

University of Liverpool Library,

Sydney Jones Library/Harold Cohen Library,

PO BOX 123,

Liverpool.

L69 3DA
