Types of email notifications

Notification Emails sent
Return or autorenewal reminder

We send you 1 reminder email before your items are due.

If the items are eligible for autorenewal, this will be indicated in the email and the new due date will be listed.

If the items cannot be renewed, the due date that the items must be returned by will be listed.

Overdue alert

We send you 4 email alerts.

We will send you the first overdue alert the day after the item was due.

Overdue alerts for High Use items will be sent sooner.

Once a loan is overdue for a long time the item will be considered lost and you will receive an invoice email listing a replacement fee.

Request collection

We email you when your requested item is ready to collect or when the item has been posted. We send these 4 times during the day.

Recall

We will send you an email if someone else requests an item that you have on loan. You may have to return it early so please check the due date in the email.

We also email you if we require the book to be returned early to place in a High Use collection.

Email addresses

Please note: if you are a member of the University of Melbourne, we only send email to your official university email address which is automatically included in your record.
