Information Services and Systems Swansea University
1 Introduction
Information Services & Systems provides Library, ICT, Corporate Management
Information, Media, and Employability services to the staff and students of
Swansea University and the wider community. The following Library Regulations
apply to all University staff and students and any other users of our services. All
users are expected to adhere to them, to ensure an effective service and to avoid
inconveniencing other users. The regulations apply to all Swansea University
Library sites but special rules, displayed locally, may take precedence.
2 Scope
2.1 University members All staff, all registered degree and diploma students of
the University, and all other members of the University are entitled to full library
membership, including borrowing privledges. The University ID card should be
presented whenever any library material is borrowed. Lost cards should be
reported without delay; a fee is charged for replacement.
2.2 Other Library members Anyone aged 16 or over may use library material
for reference use without charge. External membership is at the discretion of the
Director of Information Services & Systems and does not include access to ICT
facilities. External Membership access is also available under a variety of
National and Local collaborative schemes with other Library Services — further
