Students have a loan period of 28 days for general collection items. You will need to renew the item on your library account manually if you wish to keep it. After two renewals, you are required to return it to the library on or before the due date.

If the item is recalled or when you have finished using it, please return it to the library. If your library membership is due to expire before the 28-day loan period, the due date of your loans will be adjusted accordingly.

For more information, please visit the Borrowing from UOWCHK Library page. 

You may borrow the book via a self-checkout station. You may refer to the loaning instructions located next to the kiosk or click here to review the borrowing process.

If the item is "On loan until with a date", it means the title has been checked out by someone else. You may click on "Hold" to request a checked-out item.

Please place the book on the library counter desk, and our staff will assist you in returning your borrowed materials.
