The library charges a £50 replacement fee for any lost book, users have the option to pay this fee or supply a replacement copy of the book.

The replacement should be an identical copy and in excellent condition.  For example, replacements should not have highlighter pen or biro markings. Additionally copies must not breach copyright regulations, so they should not display a “not for resale sticker” which may be the case when purchased from an online bookseller.

If the exact edition is no longer available, a later edition is acceptable. We are unable to accept any earlier editions.

Invoices are generated automatically approximately one month after the book's due date and it is at this stage where lost books have to be replaced or paid for (as your library services will be blocked).   

If replacing or paying for the book is not an option, please contact the Library as soon as possible to discuss the situation as any debt may be passed on to University Finance for recovery.
