Postal Book Loans

Many of our books are available to read online. There are some titles that are only available in print so if you are a work based learning student, you can request that we post books from our printed collections to you.

Before you request a postal book loan please log into e:Vision and check your address is up-to-date.

What if I don't see the 'Personal Delivery' option?

If you do not see the 'Personal Delivery' option, it may be that you are not recognised as a work-based learner or degree apprenticeship student on the library system. Please contact us to let us know you would like to use the postal loan service and to confirm that you are on a work-based learning programme.
