To fine or not to fine...

Have you ever requested a library book? Was the item returned late?
 
Come along and give us your views;
 
Information Commons Level 1, Room 126 Wednesday 26 February
12:00 - 13:00
 
At this session, Lynn Sykes, Head of Customer Services, will be talking to our students about the pros and cons of fining or blocking customers that do not return requested books on time. Her presentation will last about 15 minutes and then we will ask you to decide which of 3 available options you prefer.

Welcome Back!

Hope you all had a good summer. The Library has been busy while you've been away and there are quite a few changes that have been made to the Library services. Here's a quick run down;

1. Library Pin  - Your library pin number is now the same as your Ucard pin number. If you don't know what yours is go to https://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/password, login with your University username & password and choose option 6 to have your PIN e-mailed to you. You can also change your Ucard pin by selecting option 9. 

2. Automatic Renewals - From now on as long as no-one has requested your books we will automatically renew them for you. We will send you an e-mail to let you know if any of your books cannot be renewed due to requests on them, and we will also send you a weekly borrowing statement to remind you which books you have out on loan and highlight any that have been requested.

Keep up-to-date with you Library account by always checking your weekly borrowing statement!

3. Fines -  Fines are now only charged for the late return of requested items but will because of this accumulate at the rate of £2 per day. So again remember to check your library account and borrowing statements regularly!

4. Loan Entitlements -UGs and PGTs can now borrow up to 25 items at any one time - so you'll never run low on bedtime reading.

End of Year Approaching

Hi. Just a quick reminder to keep your loans up-to-date as we approach the end of the semester and you head off for the summer vacation. For final year students especially it's important that all loans must be returned and any outstanding fines paid by the end of service hours on Saturday 11th June.

Contact us if you need advice or have any problems with your account, don't forget we are here to help.

Hope you have a brilliant summer and to those moving on to pastures new, best wishes for your future, it's been great to know you.
