I am unable to get access to those limited books
despite reserving the books other students have not returned those books
although its over due. I am very upset with the system of how other students
are allowed take books out and not return them on time....
Thank you for raising your concerns with me. I am sorry that you have been having problems securing loans for your course.
May I suggest that if you find an item you want and its on loan you reserve it straight away. Even if there's a waiting list for that item at least you get a chance to use it. You are allowed to reserve up to 6 items at a time.

The University's fine regime may not involve massive amounts of money but if an item is very late other penalties come into force

If there is a long queue of people waiting for a reserved item you could check the Public
Library catalogue to see if you may borrow that item from them

You could identify list of alternative titles. Check the catalogue number of the item you want
at University and see what other books at the same number are on the library shelves,
You could purchase your own copy of a particularly useful book. It is expected that students will purchase some books.

As a service Learning Resources is reviewing our fines regime and careful consideration is being given to having bigger fines for reserved overdue items
