Recalled Items
ALL items are subject to recall. That is, if another borrower requires an item, your loan period is reduced to 14 days and you will not be able to renew it. Please read all emails received from the Library, as fines for ignoring a recall are heavy.
On-campus returns
When on-campus, you can return items to the University Library:
Dixson Library. When the Library is open, items should be placed in the chute at the Service Desk. After hours, items can be placed in the chute beside the Library’s front door.
Reserve Collection. Reserve items should be handed to the staff member on duty at the Service Desk
Law Library. When the Law Library is open, items should be placed in the return chute at the Loans Desk. After hours, items can be placed in the chute at the front door.
Postal Returns
Students and staff returning items by mail should use the following addresss:
University Library
University of New England
NSW, 2351
Please note that materials returned by post remain the borrower's responsibility until received. Return by regular post carries a small risk of loss due to mishandling. Borrowers who are not willing to accept this risk should use registered mail.

Items requested by 2:00pm, Monday to Friday are available for use by 3:00pm on the same day (excluding Public Holidays).
