How to borrow print books from the Library

You will need a valid UWS Student ID card or UWS Staff Library Card to borrow print books from the library. Use the Self-Service kiosks to borrow print books and items you have reserved, or visit the Library Info Point to have other items issued.

Books are issued as standard loans – 4 weeks for students, 8 weeks for staff. All books are subject to recall if reserved by another borrower. Please check your university email account regularly as you may receive a due date change notification. The recall notification will advise you of the new date, giving you 7 days to return the item.

Number of print items that can be borrowed:

• UWS Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students: 15 items
• UWS Staff: 35 items · UWS Research Students: 35 items
• Alumni, Associates and Visitors: 5 items (standard loans only)
