External borrowers cannot have off campus access to e-resources under any circumstances. E-resources may only be used for the purposes of private study and research and not for commercial gain.
You don’t have all the books I am looking for, is there anything else I can do? We can get items for you from other Libraries on Inter-Library Loan.

Membership rights may be withdrawn for overdue books and outstanding fees, at the discretion of the Librarian.
