  1. If you require a paper version of an e-book which we do not hold in the Library we generally don't accept requests for these, but exceptions do apply for users with specific needs; please contact us.
  2. Due to copyright law, no more than one single chapter/article/conference paper may be requested from a single published work, e.g. from a single book, a single issue of a journal, or a single set of conference proceedings.
  3. Please use EThOS (e-theses online service) to access theses.
