Q. Why are some books not loanable?

A copy of a book listed as "not loanable" is for Reference Only and cannot be taken out on loan from the Library.

These copies can be be identified by a red spine label marked "FOR USE IN THE LIBRARY ONLY"  and a red label inside the book with the same message.

Copies of certain titles are designated "not loanable" because they are in high demand, i.e. a copy needs to be available for reference in the library at all times.

If you require any assistance, please ask a member of staff at the Information Hub on the ground floor. They will be able to check whether we have any loanable copies available of the item you need, or provide advice on how to place a reservation request on another copy.
