St Hugh's College Library: Overdue items

Overdue items

St Hugh's College Library does not fine you for returning items late. However, if an item becomes very overdue, it will be assumed lost and you will be charged the standard item replacement fee (currently £35) for each item not returned. This allows the library to purchase a replacement copy of the item.

The library management system is set up to email you with overdue notices for items you have on loan. These will be followed up by email contact from the Library, advising you to return your overdue items or be invoiced for the standard item replacement fee (currently £35) for each item not returned. If you are able to return items after the invoice has been issued, a credit note for £30 will be issued for each item, and you will still need to pay a £5 administrative charge per item.

Use the 'My Account' function in SOLO to keep track of the items you have on loan and renew items online. If you need any help with managing your library account, please come and talk to a member of library staff.
