Over the weekend we had a problem whereby some of the library reminder emails were not sent out. These are messages about reservations awaiting collection, overdue loans, etc. The technical issue which caused this has now been resolved, but please be aware that you may not have received reminder which you would normally have been sent. Please remember that this information is available at any time by clicking on 'My Library' in the  library catalogue .

IT Services are working on the problem and hope to have it resolved soon. In the meantime if you wish to check the status of your library loans please log into your account via the library Catalogue by clicking on the ‘My Library’ button in the top left corner of the screen, or via Catalogue Plus by clicking on ‘Login/Renewals’ in the top right hand corner of the screen.
