There are machines on all floors of the Library. You must always have your ID card with you to use the machines. There are easy to follow instructions on the screen.</p> <p>If the book you require is already checked out, <strong><a title="Hold" href="https://libguides.library.universityofgalway.ie/findingbooks/hold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">you can place a hold on the book</a></strong>.</p> <p>If you are unable to perform a loan using the self-issue machine, please check your account to ensure:</p> <ul> <li>You do not have a fine that you need to pay</li> <li>You do not have overdue books that must be returned</li> <li>You do not have your full quota of books already</li> </ul> <p>If none of the above apply, there may be an issue with the book. Bring it to the staff at the <a title="Library & IT Service Desk" href="https://library.nuigalway.ie/research/libraryitservicedesk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Library & IT Service Desk</strong></a> to resolve the issue.</p> <h5>How Many Books Can I Borrow?</h5> <p>The number of standard loan books that can be borrowed depends on the category of borrower. A standard loan book is one that does not have a 1 Day or 3 Day loan sticker on the spine of the book.</p> <p>The loan period also varies according to the type of borrower:</p> <table
