2. All NCD students are entitled to
use the facilities in the LRC and
join the Library to borrow books
and other resources.
The Library provides resources
for all NCD courses. Using these
will help you get the best out of
your time at college.
3. To join the Library:
• You must be enrolled on an NCD
course and have the status of Live
or SLC Pending.
• You must have or know your Student
Enrolment Number. This is the 8 digit code
that is shown on your enrolment form.
4. Come to the Library counter….
• Tell staff there that you want to join the
Library.
• They will ask for your Student Enrolment
Number.
• They will then add your details to our
system, which is called Heritage.
5. Heritage and Biometrics
• We add your details to our
Heritage Library software.
• We then scan your forefingers
3 times each to create a
unique code.
• Whenever you need to borrow
books or extend your loan all
you need is your finger!
6. More about Biometrics
• We use finger print scanning
to identify students instead of
library cards.
• We do not store images of your fingers.
• Your unique code cannot be converted back
into images.
• This is easier for you - you don’t have to
remember to bring your library card.
7. You can borrow….
• Students on H.E. courses
can take out up to 15
items in total.
• Students on F.E. or other courses can
take out up to 10 items in total.
• Most books can be borrowed for 4 weeks
but some have shorter loan periods or
maybe reference only.
8. Do you need more help?
If you have any questions about this or any
other matters please come and see a member
of LRC staff.
