When you request a book someone else has borrowed

You can request books that are already on loan. These will have an On loan status in the Catalogue.

• Allow up to 6 days for a requested item to be returned.
• To check the status of your request, use My Library Account.
• We will send a notice to your student email address when the item is available and indicate the date by which you need to collect it.

When someone requests one of your library books, you may have to return it earlier. You are guaranteed a minimum loan of 5 days.

• We will send a due date change and recall notice to your student email address.
• Please return the requested book by the new date, which overrides the original due date.
• Your borrowing privileges may be suspended if you do not return a requested item by the new due date.

If you are based at the Newmarket Campus, you may request that books are sent to the Newmarket Campus for pick up.
