The library recalls items when they have been requested by someone else so that popular items are made available to as many library members as possible
You will be emailed if an item you have on loan has been requested by another borrower.
You will have a maximum of 1 week to return the item. This new due date will be on the email.
Requested items cannot be renewed
When you have a requested book on your record, none of the other books will be automatically renewed when they reach their due date, unless the requested book was returned before this date. Once you have returned your requested book, please contact the Borrower Services desk to ask for your other books to be renewed.
Standard loan items are subject to recall at any time, including during vacations and placements
Once returned, you may request the item again if you still wish to read it in which case the next reader will only have the book for one week.
Please note that emails are sent to all Queen's staff and students to notify library users that material is overdue, or to request the return of material which is in demand by another reader. Library notices for Queen's staff and students are delivered to university email accounts.
