DIT Library: Postal Book Loans Postal Book Loans The Service The Library realises that students who are on distance learning / part time programmes and reside outside usually find it difficult to avail of our resources. The Postal service is our way of helping such students. Who is the service for? The service is only intended for students on distance learning programmes or those who are on part time courses whose classes are not held regularly in the DIT and who reside outside the greater Dublin area. To avail of the service, students have to complete a registration form available from the library. How many items? Only books available in DIT Library, can be borrowed through this service and normal lending quota applies e.g. up to six books for undergraduates and ten – books for Postgraduates. Items are initially issued for four weeks and should be returned or renewed by their due date. Books can be renewed once for a further 14 days. First loan periods are slightly longer to allow for delivery and return of items. Who will pay for the post? The Library pays for the outward postage and the borrower is responsible for the return postage. All loaned books remain the responsibility of the borrower until checked back in to the Library. For this reason we highly recommend that the borrower uses registered post when sending books back to the Library. If books are returned by post, please mark them for the attention of DIT Library, Aungier St., Dublin 2 What can be borrowed? Only books from the main lending collection can be borrowed via the postal service. All other items are not available, for example: seven day loan and audio visual items, reference material and journals.
