As a current Bournemouth University HSC midwifery student, you may borrow up to 8 items at any one time from the Healthcare Library. Book borrowing periods vary between 1 – 4 weeks, and can be renewed in person or by phone, fax or email, providing nobody else is waiting for an item.

Fines are charged for overdue loans, you will receive reminder letters, and lost items must be paid for. Return all loans as soon as you can to allow other readers to use the books.

When the Healthcare Library is closed, books may be left in the secure book return bin in the lobby outside Library.

Please note that all books must be returned by the end of your placement.

Please do not pass on material you have borrowed to someone else. You are responsible for it until it is returned to the library .

Any enquiries concerning the resources on the Bournemouth University library web pages should be addressed to the HSC subject support library team. Alternatively, you can ring Bournemouth University Library Enquiries on (01202) 965959.
