Item(s) are issued for 1 week and are automatically renewed, unless requested by other users.
If requested, you will receive an email asking you return the item(s).
If you return a requested item late, your library account will be blocked. This means that you will not be allowed to borrow or request items for the length of time the book was overdue, and this may prevent other loans on your account from being automatically renewed. Please do bring your requested books back by the due date to avoid this happening.

If the book, journal article or thesis you need is not available at our libraries or online for free, you can request it from an external Library. This is know as an Inter-Library Loan (ILL) request.
The procedure for placing requests and more information can be found on the library webpages.
If anyone has any questions regarding their ILL requests please contact us at interlibraryloans@westminster.ac.uk
