Inter-site loans - now available!

You can now request books that are in stock at one library site to be delivered to another library site for you to collect.  This recent service has been running since October and is very popular.  To find out more information about this service visit our webpage here: http://www.salford.ac.uk/library/services/borrowing#intersite-tab.

There is also a help guide available which takes you through the process step-by-step.  This can be found here: http://www.salford.ac.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/200057/intersite.pdf.

New intersite loan service in The Library

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.
