To get you started on finding resources for your studies, check out our Introduction to library and computing services web pages. Our web pages
also contain links to our subject guides and a suite of information skills tutorials, together with one-minute videos on a range of topics. Check out
our one-minute video on how to borrow a book.
You’ll need your UCard and PIN to borrow books using our self-service
machines. If you forget your PIN or want to change it go to https://www.shef.ac.uk/cics/password sign in, and choose
one of the top 2 options.
When you borrow a book we’ll renew it for you automatically unless
someone else wants it. We’ll send you a weekly borrowing statement by email, so
check this carefully to make sure your books aren’t wanted back. Please
think of others and return books if they're requested by someone else. You will
find yourself blocked from further borrowing if you keep books needed by others.
If the book you want is out on loan, you need to request it online
through the StarPlus Library
catalogue and we’ll email you when it’s ready to collect. Select the
Information Commons as your collection site for 24/7 self-service collection.
Remember to sign in to StarPlus by
clicking the University members link at the top right of the page (if accessing
StarPlus via MUSE you will be signed in automatically)
