New Academic Staff: Library registration and borrowing

Borrowing materials

• Use the self-service machines on the Ground Floor.  You need your id card.

Loans

• Staff may borrow up to 20 items.
• Some library material is available only for reference use in the Library, including the print Journals.
• Certain books, DVDs and videos also marked 'Reference' may be borrowed by staff after consultation with the appropriate Liaison Librarian.

Return or Renew?

• Book return is on the ground floor.
• Book return outside when the library is closed.
• Books automatically renew unless requested by someone else. Renew via Library Search.
• Overdue items will incur charges.

Library membership for staff

• You are automatically registered with the library.
• Your staff identity card acts as your library card.
• You will also need your staff ID card:
  • To gain access to the Sheppard Library and other many campus buildings .
  • To borrow materials.

Visiting or emeritus or short term contract staff

• Check with your department that you are on the University PAFIS (staff management) system.   This controls access to e-resources. 
• If you are not employed by the university, then license restrictions mean you will not have access to library e-resources.
