Reservation Guide
If you are reserving an item that is currently available on the Library shelves, your request may not be dealt with until the next working day.
The item may have been borrowed by another reader before the Library staff reach it, so you may prefer to collect available items directly from the
Library shelves.
Items requested from another campus Library will take approximately 3 working days to arrive for your collection. (Items from the Medway Store
may take longer than 3 working days to be available).
Important: You will be informed of the results of your request by email.
Before you confirm your reservation, please take note of the Reservation Guide.
