Borrowing Arrangements

Over the winter vacation University Staff members and PhD students may borrow books as usual. LLM and MCL students are welcome to borrow books from the dedicated LLM and MCL collections. Please note that the 'request' facility for books on loan will be turned off from 3 December - 13 January inclusive. This means that if you have a book out on loan and have not received a due date change notification by 3 December you are guaranteed to be able to keep this book on loan over the vacation period until 14 January. Requests placed before 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 at squire@law.cam.ac.uk.

Access to Resources

You can access e-books, e-journals, Moodle content and legal databases using your Raven password or database specific password throughout the vacation. If you experience any difficulties in accessing resources please contact us.

We wish you all the best for the holiday season from the Squire Law Library Team.
