Library notifications by email
Library notifications are sent automatically by UVic NetLink email. Email notices enable the UVic Libraries to expand the types and frequency of notifications that library users receive, including:
- due date reminders sent a few days before an item is due
- overdue notices sent a day or two after an item is due
- items recalled notices when items have been recalled from you for another borrower
- items available notices when the items you have recalled are available for pick up
- fine notices when items have been overdue, lost or damaged
It is important to obtain a UVic NetLink email account, available free to registered students, faculty and staff. If you prefer to use another email service, there is an option to forward your NetLink email to another email address.
