How do I borrow a book?

Answer

Colchester: You will need your student card to borrow books. You can borrow books at the 2 self-service kiosks on the ground floor. Select 'borrow' then scan your card on the contactless point. Place your books on the reader. Check that all the books have been added to your account, (they will appear in green with a tick next to them on the screen) and be sure to log out. You will be sent an email receipt. If you need any help just ask staff at the helpdesk, they will be happy to help.
