Change in loan limit for UCL staff

We regularly review our library service provision to staff, students and external visitors. One aspect of the service which was reviewed via a benchmarking exercise during the latter part of last year was the loan allowance for all library users.

UCL Library Committee agreed in December 2015 that the loan limit for staff at UCL will be set at 40 items from 1 September 2016. This change maintains a generous limit for staff, whilst balancing this against the need to manage the Library’s print stock and ensure that it is available for users at the point of need.

UCL Staff and Students ID cards

We would like to remind UCL staff and students (including hospital staff with honorary UCL contracts) of the importance of picking up their UCL ID card:  http://www.ucl.ac.uk/estates/security/systems/identity-cards/ . This card is  different  from the ICH ID card,  which is only of use at the ICH . The UCL card is recognised throughout UCL.    Without it staff and students will not be able to access many library services and will not be able to gain entry to many UCL buildings including  libraries . Staff and students need the card to: borrow books and other materials, to request inter-library loans and to request items which are out on loan.    Without this card they will not be able to use  printing, scanning and photocopying facilities  at UCL libraries, including at our library. Cards are issued by Security Systems in the  Andrew Huxley Building .    The office is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4.45pm. ...
