All Reference books cannot be loaned, and cannot be taken from the library. Reference books have a red sticker on the spine and a Reference Only label on the front cover.

2. Students can borrow up to 5 books at any one time

3. To take out a book, students can either use the self service machines located on Ground Floor and 1st Floor, or come to the Enquiry Desk. Please remember to take the receipt from the self service machines as this will tell you when the book is due back to the library and then make sure you log off afterwards.

4. You can renew a book either by logging onto My Library Account on Elite, or by phoning the library. Students can renew a book 15 times before the book has to come back. This only relates to a book with no reservations on it, if a book has been reserved it must come back to the library on the original due date/time.

5. Fines for a standard loan are £1 per item per day. Fines for a 3 Hour Loan are £1 per item, per hour up to £5.

6. Fines can reach up to £25 before a student’s account is frozen, any payment to bring the balance under £25 will unlock the account.

Any further questions, please do not hesitate to come up to the Enquiry Desk on the 1st Floor, or send an email to library-moorgate@lawcol.co.uk

Using the library – Returns Bins

Return borrowed items only

Please remember that you only need to deposit books into the Returns bins if you have borrowed them using your ID card.

If you are only removing library books to use in workshops or other areas of the building, then simply bring these back to the library shelves or trolleys.

Please only use the Returns bins for the return of loaned library books.
