IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT BORROWING FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY LIBRARY
There are significant fines for the non-return of high demand items and lost material. Items borrowed from the Library (including from the Law and Law Reserch collections) are subject to the fine conditions listed here: http://www.library.usyd.edu.au/borrowing/fines.html.
Overdue and recall notices are sent to students via email but as a courtesy only and the Library does not accept responsibility for the non-receipt of emails. Therefore it is important to regularly log in to My Loans - https://opac.library.usyd.edu.au/patroninfo~S4 - to check the status of your loans. |
| 23/5/13 |
LIBRARY CLIENT SURVEY 2013
The University of Sydney Library is running a Library Client Survey.
This survey is designed to give you an opportunity to state your opinions on how well you think the Library performs in relation to what you think is important. Your opinions are valuable and will help us understand how we can work together to make Your University Library work for all concerned.
This is a confidential document and your honest input will make it very worthwhile. The results of the survey will be made available.
The survey can be accessed from the Law Library website - http://www.library.usyd.edu.au/libraries/law/ - then clicking on the red box marked Library Client Survey 2013. The survey closes on Wednesday 29th May.
Many thanks
