Useful information about pick-up locations, returns, recalls, renewals, etc.

Useful information when picking up reserved material

When will the material be available?

  • You will receive an email when your material is ready for pick up. The email includes a deadline for collecting the material. This deadline cannot be changed.

Collecting reserved material

  • When the material is ready for pick up it will be placed on the pick up shelf for you. Please note that you will receive a mail with the deadline for pick up. After deadline the material will be removed and will no longer be reserved for you.

Pick-up location

  • You can choose which library you would like to collect the material from when you make the reservation. AU Library has a number of libraries distributed across the campus. Read more about loan rules.

Useful information when returning material

Recalls

  • 3 days before your loan period expires you will receive a reminder to return the material on time.

Renewal of loans

  • A loan can, unfortunately, not be renewed if another user has reserved the material, and will therefore need to be returned.

Returning material

  • You can return all material borrowed via AU Library to any one our libraries - regardless of where you originally collected the material.
