Introduction to the Library

On the webpage Introduction to the University Library, you will find information for new students and for anyone wishing to start using the library’s services.

Borrowing, Returning, Reserving and Requesting Materials

You can borrow, reserve, request and return books throughout the summer. Requests for materials from the other campus may take slightly longer to process. If you are a distance student, responses to enquiries may also take somewhat longer.

Interlibrary loan requests and purchase suggestions can be submitted throughout the summer. Please note that requested materials may take longer to obtain than during the regular semester.
