Please take note of the following loan rules relating to renewals:

   1. Undergraduate, honours and graduate students are allowed 3 online renewals for Library materials. 

   2. Academic staff members are allowed 5 online renewals for Library materials and allowed 1 online renewal for bound journals kept in Closed Stacks via myLINC.

   3. All other Members are allowed 2 online renewals for library materials (except Law Books but including most books kept in closed stacks) via myLINC.
       
   4. Renewals will not be accepted on myLINC if:
          * Item is on hold for another Member.
          * Item is overdue and carries a fine.
          * Item has exceeded number of renewals allowed.
          * Item is a journal or RBR material.
          * Item has been recalled.          
          
   5. Renewals through the telephone will not be accepted.

   6. Members must check myLINC to ensure that there are no holds on the item before re-borrowing the item at the Loans Desk of the library.
