Student BorrowingContents:ID CardsWhen you register for your course, you will be given a university identity card with a bar code on it. This also acts as your Library card. You will need to present it each time you want to borrow any items, either through the self service machines or at the Help Zone desk. You should carry your ID card with you at all times on campus. Sign the card immediately and insert a current passport-style photograph. If you lose your card, report its loss at one of the Library desks immediately, so that we can block the number and prevent its misuse. To get a replacement ID Card you should then contact the team at askBU.
