Law Library

Borrowing

The Law Library is predominantly a reference library, and many of the books it holds may not be borrowed.

Loan Periods:

  • General text books may, with the exception of some marked "overnight loan", be borrowed for twenty-eight days.
  • Overnight loan books must be returned before closing time on the next week-day.
  • Reserve books with "2 hour loan" labels may be borrowed for 2 hours in the library; those with "overnight loan" labels may also be borrowed overnight but must be returned before closing time on the next week day.
If you need a book which is on loan to another person, the Law Library staff can place a hold on the item. This will reserve it for you when it returns to the library. You can also place a hold on a book directly on the Catologue catalogue. You may renew books by presenting them at the loans desk. The Law Library accepts renewal requests by telephone - please call 8344 6177. You can also renew a book directly on the Catlogue catalogue. The Law Library imposes fines for all overdue books, including Reserve items, so please return the books when they are due. Signs on the noticeboards list the scale of fines imposed for overdue items, and there is a leaflet available in the foyer with the list of penalties. Loans cease fifteen minutes before closing time.
