We can send loanable books directly to University of Birmingham staff and students within the UK. Please allow at least ten days for delivery.
- Postal loans are restricted to loanable books only. Search FindIt@Bham, our library catalogue, for availability. Books are issued for a week initially and will automatically renew each day until they are requested by another borrower. It is your responsibility to ensure that any items that you have borrowed have not been requested by another borrower. Renewals will stop once an item has been requested. You will usually have a week to return items that have been requested by other borrowers. You will receive daily e-mail alerts when an item on loan to you is due back, but please do regularly check your library account at FindIt@Bham to check all loan dates. See information about borrowing and requesting. You can also request scans of articles or chapters.
- A fee of £7.50 is chargeable for up to four postal loans. You can either fill in the online form below or download the PDF version (119KB) and post it to us.

- It is your responsibility to return the books to the library: either in person or by using the post-return address labels that are provided. Please use a signed for, insured service.
