How long can I borrow a Student Collection book for?

Answer

Although books from the Student Collection are marked with a 7 day loan sticker they will auto-renew daily, (for up to a year) in the same way as all other books in the library. 

This means that Student Collection books on loan to you will renew automatically unless:

  • They have been requested by another library user (you will be notified via your Essex email if this happens)
  • Your account is about to expire (your course or contract is ending)
  • The books have been on loan for a year. Books must be returned to the library after a year. Once returned you can choose to re-borrow for another year.

You can check when your books are due through the "My account" section of the library homepage, on the self-service machines in the library or by asking staff at the Helpdesk.
