Items you have taken out on vacation loan last term, are due back on Tuesday 10th October (1st Week of Michaelmas Term).

If you wish to extend the loan of these items, you will need to return them to the library to be re-issued to you.

Short Loan items will revert to being 2 day loans.

Bodleian Libraries introduced a shared policy on borrowing from our libraries on 24 August 2023.

You can find details of the policy at https://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/services/borrow.

This policy was introduced following consistent feedback over many years in favour of aligning borrowing rules more closely across the 22 Bodleian Libraries which offer a lending service.

One aspect of the policy is the Maximum Renewal Period:

All loans, except Same Day Loans, have a maximum renewal period of 112 days (16 weeks) from the date of the original loan. They cannot be renewed again after this period has elapsed. If you wish to continue using an item after this period, you will need to bring it back to the library to be re-issued.

If you have any feedback or comments about the new shared policy on borrowing, please do reply to this email or contact us to let us know.
