Hi Paul,
I think I tried that and for some reason it would not go back but I will
check again, hence I was looking for a link to do it.
Many thanks.. 
Aedan.

Hi Aedan,

Assuming that you are using a browser on a computer and not one of the mobile
apps, all you have to do is to hit the browser's back button, for which the
standard keyboard equivalent is alt plus left arrow.  This will take you back
to the page where you selected the borrow link and you can then continue
browsing through the search results or other list of titles.
