Student Membership Form
Once we have received your completed form, you will be added to our Library Management System "Koha".
If you register in person you will be given a library membership card and PIN straight away. The membership number on the card and PIN allow you to use the self-service machine in your "home" library and also to login to the online library catalogue to manage your loans, requests and renewals.
Unless you specify a PIN, we will set it as the last 4 digits of your membership number.
If you complete our online form, or self-register via the library catalogue, you will need to visit at your earliest convenience to collect your membership card and PIN.
Membership lasts for 2 years for permanent staff and the duration of your placement or contract for students and temporary staff.
Please remember to keep your details updated and inform us of any changes to your job or contact details.
If you are due to leave ESNEFT, please remember to return any books you have on loan before your leaving date.
