Library Polices/Self Issue Stations/Fines

Without wanting to sound authoritarian, we'd love it if you'd take a look at DBS library rules and regulations, which are available here.

Something else that we'd like is for the very small minority of you with books on loan who leave books on the self-issue stations' book return trolley, without actually using the self-issue stations, to return your books on the self-issue station first. If you don't, the books will stay on your account and may lead to fines accruing. Thanks.

Thirdly, we impose fines on overdue library loans not out of punishment, but rather to encourage you to return material on time, thus trying to ensure fair and equitable access to library material for all students. Fines can easily be avoided by returning books on time, or renewing them. Contact the library for a PIN to enable you to manage your library account online. Loans can be renewed by phone, by using the self-service stations, or even through Ask-A-Librarian
