We have a wide range of resources available for you to borrow during your College course.
Your student ID card is also your Library Card. If you don’t have one you can apply for it through the Student Portal.
How to Borrow Resources
Take the book and your student card to the Library desk or a self-service kiosk to checkout. Resources are issued for 28 days or 7 days for items in high demand. It’s possible to renew your loan providing no one else is waiting for it.
When you return the book, you can simply drop it off at the library desk at any of the campus libraries.
If you wish to reserve a book online, you can do so through the online catalogue.
If you need a digital device for online learning and studying from home our Chromebook loans could help you. We have 2 options available:
Same day return loans for use on site or 1 week loans
Chromebook Self Service
Students and staff wishing to borrow a Chromebook for the day can do so using the self service Chromebook lockers throughout the campuses. They provide a self-service checkout; however, you will need your NEC to scan in. Once you’ve selected “Borrow” or “Return”, simply scan your card and the lapsafe will open the correct locker. It will also automatically add or remove the device from your reader record, so there should be no need to inform the library staff.
There is even an “Accessible Borrow” option to ensure an easier to reach locker.
You can find out what we have in stock by searching the Library Catalogue.
Request items using click and collect
Reserve the book on the Library catalogue, choose your pick up site and a member of the Team will be in touch to let you know when it is ready for collection.
If you need any help finding resources on the shelves or the catalogue or you have any questions about how to borrow resources, just come and ask us at the Library desk or email library@fife.ac.uk
