Document Supply

 You said

I am a third-year midwifery student and I have been searching for the above title, for help with a current unit of work. It does not appear to be in our library catalogue, and I wondered if the library could purchase a copy - hard copy or E-book?

 If not, it's not a problem as I am happy to purchase a copy myself, but we have recently been made aware that if we are unable to find a resource in the library catalogue that we can ask.

We said:

Thank you for your enquiry. As a final year undergraduate you have limited use of the University’s Document Supply service. Details are here:

 Each underlined paragraph heading is a link to a PDF.

 When you are ready complete the Book Request form linked from this page

Loans

 You said:

I am a graduate of the university and I still have in my possession a few books loaned from the library. 

 Are you able to check if they have incurred any fines? I do plan on return them but at the moment I am self isolating, I aim to return them next week.

We said:

Thank you for your email. Please return your 5 loan items as soon as it is safe for you to do so after self-isolating.

 All of the items are due back 1.11.21 and have no fines

Visitor membership

 You said:

I am a student at Queen Mary University of London and I am looking for a space to complete my studies. I would usually use the public library but unfortunately they have not opened their study areas.

 Would it be possible for me to use your library facilities to study for a few hours a week for for about 5 weeks.
