Library notices

The Library sends notices to help you manage your loans, and to request items for other users when items are in demand. You are responsible for returning items by the due date.


How you receive Library notices

Library notices are sent to your email address.

  • If you are a student, notices are sent to your Student email address (username@aucklanduni.ac.nz). To redirect your Student email to your preferred email address, follow the instructions on the Student email website. Library staff are not able to change the Student email address for you.
  • If you are a staff member, notices are sent to your staff email address. See My Library Account to find out how to receive notices at another email address.
  • If you are not a student or staff member, notices are sent to your nominated email address.

When you are away for any reason, make arrangements to check your email for notices and return items. See My Library Account for information on changing your contact details.
