Library Limits

How many books can you get out a time from your Uni library?

My University has a 10 book loan limit. Which is crap when (like now) I have 3 essays due in within a week, each wanting 5 books minimum on the bibliography.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    You're lucky, unless you anticipate the reading list for your course in two years time all the books are gone out of Edinburgh library. Most of the time I have to get copies from the reserve section which can only be taken out for 3 hours at a time and a maximum of 3 books. It pisses me off somewhat.

    Yep, half the books I need are in short loan-either 4 hours or 24 hours. And at 50p per half hour overdue fine, I can't afford to make them late when other people have reserved them.

    Yeh I usually end up working in the library but I hate it because I'm so used to my own work environment at home or in my room and it's pretty far from where I stay. Also, photocopying tends to be real expensive and my course has loads of reading.

    Yes. Photocopying was the answer today. I photocopied a whole book. It's hard to know exactly what references I'm going to make until I actually do it.

    Working in there is an option I hadn't considered tbh.
