They may then borrow books for 60 days (unless reserved by another user). They may apply for these items through the Inter-Campus Library Delivery Service (ICLDS) by going to the Voyager record and using the 'Request' button at the top of the page. If this service is not functioning, they may also use the ICLDS online form.
• Books can be renewed twice unless reserved by another person.
• Books recalled by another user must be returned within 24 hours.

Journals

• Staff and students based at the Leigh Laboratory are allowed to borrow journals until they are required by another patron.
• Journals are not available for loan to staff and students not based at Leigh (except for some seven day loans for staff and post-graduates).

• Articles may be requested from titles held at other libraries through the Inter-Campus Library Delivery Service (ICLDS) via Voyager or by using the online form.

Theses
