Students can borrow up to ten items at one time. The standard loan period for book, magazines and DVD's is three weeks.
You can renew your items before the due date for up to two more loan periods if no one else wants the same item. To renew an item log into the library catalogue using your student ID number and password. Once you are logged in, you can renew items that are not overdue. You can also place a reserve or hold on an item.
Once items become overdue, no further issues or renewals are possible. If an item becomes more than 4 weeks overdue, an account for the replacement cost will be sent.
RESERVES/HOLDS
Items can only be reserved if they are on loan or in process. They are unable to be reserved when available.
The borrower will be emailed when the item becomes available. We will hold the item behind the desk for one week.
Sometimes you may not be able to find what you want in the Library. We can request a book or journal article from another library in New Zealand on your behalf. This is for your study at WITT only. You cannot request items for your personal interests.
Please allow up to two weeks for your interloan request to arrive.
You will be notified by email or telephone when your request arrives.
Generally, books are loaned for 4 weeks, if you request an article you may keep the copy provided.
To request an item please ask a Librarian for an interloan form at the Library Desk
