Q. What can I request through inter-library loans?

You can use inter-library loans to request:

• Books which we don't have in our collections;
• Copies of journal articles (no more than one article from a single issue)
• Copies of conference papers (no more that one paper from a single set)

• Books that are out on loan;
• Paper versions of e-books (exceptions do apply; please contact us if you need a print version);
• Copies of more than one article from a single published work (e.g. from a single book, a single issue of a journal, or a single set of conference proceedings);
• Theses – please use EThOS (e-theses online service);
• Books and articles from sources outside the United Kingdom.
