Q. The book I want is listed as checked out, what does this mean?

Items listed on the Library search pages as 'checked out' are those that we have been unable to locate for a period of time.

If we only hold one copy of the item we will be in the process of purchasing a replacement. If there is more than one copy then you will be able to place a hold, as you normally would for items that are on loan.

If you urgently require an item that is a single copy and is listed as Missing, speak to a member of staff at the Information Hub or contact our enquiry service, either by telephone 0116 252 2448 or email library@le.ac.uk, and we will endeavour to source it for you.
