Borrowing Items
How do I borrow items?
- use the self-issue machines on the ground floor of the
Fountains Learning Centre
- use your library card and library PIN
Exceptions
- if you have forgotten your PIN: contact Library and Information
Services
- if you are borrowing magnetic media (videotapes): take these to
the Question Point as the self-issue machines will damage
them
- if you are borrowing large or bulky items: take these to the
Question Point on the ground floor as they don't fit in the
self-issue machines
