Borrowing

Updated May 2026

Students may borrow LRC materials using their University Campus Card, which also serves as their library card.

Staff members who wish to borrow materials are required to register their Campus Card with the LRC prior to using borrowing facilities.

Most library materials may be borrowed, renewed, and returned using the Self-Service Points located within the LRC.

Items reserved through the hold request system may be collected from the designated Hold Shelf or collection area as notified.

Certain materials may not be available for self-service borrowing. In such cases, users are kindly requested to seek assistance at the LRC Information Desk.

Where Self-Service Points are temporarily unavailable, borrowed materials may be returned at the Information Desk and will be processed once the system becomes available.

Users are responsible for ensuring that borrowed materials are returned or renewed by the applicable due date.
