You can borrow a book from Wadham Library for 2 weeks, and you can then renew as many times as you would like (unless someone else has placed a hold on it).

How to borrow a book:

• Tap login on the screen on the self-issue kiosk at the library counter
• Place your university card under the red beam, as shown on the screen, so that it can read the barcode
• Place each book you want to borrow on the 'Place items here' area on the counter
• Each book will be automatically recognised and issued to you
• Make sure each book you borrow registers on the screen on a green line
• [If the book appears on the screen on a red line, it has not been issued to you - please don't take the book out of the library, but email us about it, and we can sort out the problem for you
• Make sure you tap 'logout' on the screen

How to renew a book / Checking your reader record:

• You can renew your books at the self-issue kiosk by selecting the renew option
• Alternatively, you can renew them remotely online: go to http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk
• At the top right of the screen click on 'Sign in' and sign in using your Single Sign On password (i.e. your 'wadh.xxxx' username and password
• Click on 'My Account' at the top right
• Your borrower record will be displayed, showing due date/s of the item/s you have out on loan
• Put a tick in the box next to any books you want to renew, and click on 'Renew selected' / 'Renew all'
• Remember to click on 'Sign out'

How to return a book:

Books you are returning should be placed (gently!) in the drop box for staff to check back into the Library.

*Please do not return books from other libraries to Wadham Library - it is very difficult for us to send them back since the University messenger post does not accept books. Books from other libraries left with us are likely to incur fines at the originating library, and may even lead to your being billed for the cost of replacing the book.*

A few points to remember:

Please note that all journals and some labelled books including most reference books are confined to the Library and may not be borrowed.

	Confined books usually have a white stripe around the cover. These cannot be borrowed.
	Discussion Room books have a red or yellow stripe around the outside. They may be borrowed on application to the staff.

Should the computer fail please record each book you borrow on the clipboard next to the computer, being sure to enter the barcode of the book from the inside of the front cover, the title and your name.

The system will generate email notices reminding you of the date when your books will be due. If for any reason you miss the date please contact Library staff by email as soon as possible

You may place a reservation online for a book that someone else has on loan.
