Recently
the Library has launched a service that will allow our users to transfer items
between sites on request so that they can then be borrowed from the location
that is most convenient for them.
The
Intersite Loan service is available to all students and staff of the university
and applies to all one week and normal loan items. I feel it will be especially
useful to Schools like Art & Design which have a presence on more than one
campus.
Users will
be able to request the transfer of items via a web form which can be found at
the following location http://www.salford.ac.uk/library/services/borrowing#intersite-tab.
A link to this form is also available in SOLAR, via the item’s record through
the details tab – the link from this is “Transfer to your current
location”.
We will aim
to have items transferred between sites within 24 hours if the request is made
before midday and by the following day after that. Once the item is at the
user’s requested site it will be held on the reservation shelves so that it can
be collected whenever we are open. We will send an email to the user’s student
email to confirm that the request is waiting for pick-up.
