When you will not be able to renew books online:

  • no book can be renewed online more than three times in a row .On the fourth occasion, please bring the book into the library for renewal, so we can check it is still in good condition
  • if any book is overdue, you will not be able to renew any books at all, until this is resolved. Please contact the library
  • a renewal for a particular book will not be possible if another member of the Institute has requested it

If the online renewal system does not seem to be working for you, please email library@sia.edu and we will investigate.
