Important information

  • You can reserve 10 items at once, when these 10 items are issued you can request a further 10 to get your full allowance of 20 items.

  • Books are dispatched using Royal Mail Signed For™ 2nd Class delivery for UK addresses and Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed for mainland Europe; you will need to sign for your item upon delivery.
  • Items are your responsibility until returned.
  • If someone requests a book you have on loan, you will receive a notification to your University email address asking you to return the item within 14 days.
  • Distance Learners can also use Request It! to request books and articles not in stock.
  • We will post items to the address on your Library record, please advise library@leedsbeckett.ac.uk if you change address.
