Borrowing - Hospital Library
As a current ÃÛÌÒAV HSS student, you may borrow up to 12 books from the Hospital Library. The normal loan period is four weeks. You may renew the item in person or by phone, provided nobody else is waiting for the book in question. If your book is overdue you will be sent a written reminder. If the book is not returned you will be charged replacement costs plus an administrative charge of £10.
Please do not pass on material you have borrowed to someone else. You are responsible for it until it is returned to the Library.
Library IT facilities
There are 15 computers and 1 laptop in the Library and IT Suite which provide MS Office and Internet access.
Finding help
You will receive an induction from Hospital Library staff and you will be able to staff ask for assistance during staffed hours.
It is important to attend your timetabled University IT and Library sessions, as they are designed to give you the skills to carry out research for your assignments. To complement these sessions, you can arrange subject advice on a one-to-one basis at Weston Library through your faculty library team.
Any enquiries concerning the resources on the ÃÛÌÒAV Library web pages should be addressed to the HSS faculty library team. Alternatively, you can use the Library Chat service or ring ÃÛÌÒAV Library's Telephone Enquiry Service on 01202 965959.
