contact your tutor or read the troubleshooting guide

Postal loans
Distance Learners can register for the LRCs' postal loan
service. The cost is £10 per year. For this
price we will dispatch the books you need to your home
address.
Once you have the books normal borrowing rules apply and you can
renew them, subject to demand, by phone or via the
web
catalogue.
Books can be returned in person or by post. The
return postage is borne by the student.
You can download an Application
form for the Postal Loan Service online or you can
pick a form up in your Learning Resource Centre.
