At the start of each academic year a presentation of library services is made to all new students as part of the course induction.

Borrowing And Returning Material

All registered students of the college are issued a St. Angela’s College Student Identity Card. This student ID card serves as your Library ID Card and students are required to present it when borrowing books. The records of the library collection are maintained in the computerised Library Online Catalogue using the Heritage 4 Software system. Terminals are available in the library for searching the catalog and the catalog may also be accessed from any of the student computer labs located on the college campus.

Borrowing privileges are extended to all staff and students of the college.

The library also offers an Inter Library Loan facility on a fee basis to students should they wish to obtain material from another library. Student Photocopying facilities are available in the library to copy material that is not available for loan. Seating space is provided in the library for quiet study.

Library ID Card

Your student ID card serves as your Library Identification Card. You must present your own ID card to borrow from the Library.

You will not be allowed to borrow material without your card.

If you have lost your Student ID card you must request a replacement card from the Registrar’s office located next to Reception in Arus Brid. Until you receive your replacement card you will not be eligible to borrow library material.

Borrowing

Taking out a book……To borrow material present your card to library staff at the Library Circulation Desk. Books from the Main Library may be borrowed for a period of two weeks. Books returned late are subject to a fine of 20 cent per day. Repeated late return of books will result in a suspension of borrowing privileges.

You will not be allowed to take out books until all overdue books are returned and fines are paid.

Please return books promptly as a courtesy to others

Renewals

The loan period of a book may be extended twice, provided no other student has reserved the book.

Reserving a book
To reserve a book which is on loan to another reader, please ask a member of Library staff for assistance. By reserving a book you ensure that the book will be held for you upon its return. Books will be held for one week and then returned to open circulation. It is your responsibility to collect a reserved book..

Returning items

Please place books in the Return slot at the Library Circulation Desk. Books left anywhere else will not be cleared from your name, and fines will accrue.
Please return books promptly. Others may be waiting for them.
If you are unable to personally visit the library, you may return books via registered post to: McKeown Library, St. Angela’s College, Lough Gill, Sligo

Important points to remember

• You must have your ID Card to borrow books.
• Do not loan books to fellow students that you have taken out in your name.
• You are personally responsible for any item you take out and will be charged the replacement cost for any lost material and are responsible for the payment of any fine incurred.
• Failure to return books promptly will result in the suspension of borrowing rights.
