All borrowers should be aware that books may be recalled at any time. If you are leaving the country or are planning to go away for more than a week you should return your Library books before you go.

• If you have borrowed a book which is then recalled, you will not be able to renew it
• Fines for non-return of a recalled book currently stand at £1 per day. Once your account accrues more than £10 of fines (see fines), or if a recalled book becomes overdue then your account will be blocked and you will not be able to renew, reserve or borrow
• University staff and students should also check that they are receiving Warwick University emails and set up email diverts as required. To set up a forward email more information is available from IT Services
• External borrowers are responsible for ensuring that the Library holds their current email address
• Items cannot be renewed if another borrower has requested a hold on an item
• If another borrower requests a hold on a 3 Day Loan you will not receive a recall email notice but you will not be able to renew the item. Please note that you are advised not borrow 3 day loan items unless you are in a position to return the item in 3 days
• You are advised not to borrow Short Loan items unless you are in a position to return them before 11am the following day, or if borrowed after 11am on a Friday due back Monday before 11am, as another student may have placed a booking on the Short Loan items you have borrowed
