Automatic Renewal System
If your book(s) have not been requested by another student, the due date of your items will automatically renew for another loan duration. Remember to carefully read all emails regarding your loans as they will alert you about when you need to bring an item back or if you can keep them. All notifications are sent directly to your NCI email account.
You also have the option of renewing your books in person, online through your account, over the phone or by email.
Book Reservations
If all copies of a book you are looking for are out on loan, you can put your name on a waiting list for a copy by submitting a reservation. There are a few ways to reserve a book:
Once a copy of a book comes in for you, you will get a notification via your college email. The book will be held for you behind the library services desk. You will have 5 business days to collect it.
Books can be returned via the book returns box located in the ground floor lobby of the Spencer Dock Campus Building, or by using the self-service machines on the 4th and 5th floors in the library. All returned items will be sanitised before they are put back into circulation. You can keep an eye on your library account here: My Account.
If your items go overdue, fines of €1 per item per day will accrue. If you accrue €10 or more, your account will be blocked and you will not be able to borrow or renew items until you have cleared your fine. NCI Library is now cashless, only debit or credit card payments are accepted.
