Managing your library books

  • Undergraduates can borrow 20 books, taught postgraduates 25 books and researchers 35 books at any one time.
  • If you need a book for longer you can renew the book by going to your Library Record.
  • If all copies of a book are out on loan and you would like to get hold of a copy you need to reserve it
  • If there is an electronic copy (e-book) click on the link and login.  E-books are exactly the same in terms of content as a printed book; they are just in a different format. We buy e-books from a number of different sources, please check the help files on the specific platform or contact the Library Help desk for further help.

Can't find what you need?

If you cannot find the book you're looking for in the Library Catalogue you can suggest that we buy the book using this form.

If there are books on your Reading List which the Library doesn't have please contact library@aston.ac.uk and we will contact your lecturer.
