Not goodbye but farewell …

We’re entering the last week of exams and the end of the academic year is almost upon us. It’s always hard to say goodbye, but happily the Library remains open over the summer months. This is what to expect, Library-wise, over the summer:

  • Your student card, and hence your Library account, is valid until September 2014. After that you will either re-register and receive a new card or be off to pastures new, but you will have the option to open an external Library account with borrowing rights for a further year on graduation. 
  • While you are still a student with a current Library account you can access databases, e-books and your reading history. If you want to hold on to notes you have made in e-books you should export them before September. 
  • In June and July, the borrowing period for all books with the exception of Short Loan will be three weeks.  
  • The Library databases are provided in accordance with publisher licences that state that material should not be kept after it has fulfilled its academic purpose. Therefore we ask that you delete any online copies of materials downloaded from databases after you complete your exams. 
  • Please remember to return all overdue books and clear all fines. Anything still outstanding on your account could block you from graduating or registering again next year. 

The Library will be open with full services Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm from 26 May. Have a great summer!
