We give extensions to borrowing times when an item is borrowed initially (but not if  the book is renewed). A message is  put on the student’s borrower record to alert Library staff to this. The student is given an  Assist Card which can be  shown if they wish to alert Library staff to their extra support needs. 

 

Best wishes

Subject: Extended Library Loans

Dear colleagues,
I realise that many of you will be on holiday but I would be grateful if any of you could let me know whether your University or College delivering Higher Education allows your disabled students to have extended loans of books and other media from your libraries/learning centres?

Also if the answer is yes, it would be useful to know how you manage this system?
Thank you very much and I look forward to any replies.

Regards
