Borrowing Arrangements
Over the winter vacation University Staff members, PhD students, LLM students and MCL students may borrow books as usual. Books can be borrowed in person at the library; alternatively, the Click and Collect service is available to request books for collection from the library Enquiry Desk. Click and Collect requests must be placed by 09:00 on Friday 20 December for collection before the holiday closure.
The 'recall request' facility for books on loan will be turned off from 07:00 on Tuesday 3 December until 07:00 on Tuesday 21 January. This means that if you have a book out on loan and have not received a due date change notification by the 4 December you are guaranteed to be able to keep this book on loan over the vacation period. Requests placed before 07:00 on 3 December will not expire once the vacation starts so please ensure requested books are returned promptly.
If you are unsure of the status of books you have on loan please log in to iDiscover to check your account or contact the Squire Law Library team.
Access to Resources
E-resouces including Westlaw UK, Lexis+ and all Moodle content, can be accessed whilst away from Cambridge using your University account password or database specific password. If you experience any difficulties in accessing resources, or are unsure where to check online, please don't hesitate to contact squire@law.cam.ac.uk: team members are here throughout the vacation (apart from 21 December - 1 January inclusive) and we'd be very pleased to assist. You can also find lots of further information via the Law LibGuide.
We wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday season from all the team at the Squire Law Library
