Pay your overdue Library fines now!
All student Library fines and fees accrued prior to 3 July 2008 have been transferred to the University Finance System.
Please pay at Cashiers Office, as debts will prevent access to exam results, re-enrolment, renewal of borrowing cards and academic transcripts. For further information, please visit Fines and Penalties.
Trial Databases - Let us know what you think!
From time to time the Library organises trials of new databases and makes these available to staff and students. These trials can last for anywhere between two weeks and two months.
We invite you to trial these databases and let us know what you think. Your assistance in evaluating new databases helps us decide whether to purchase a subscription.
Database trials are available on our What's on Trial page.
