Before handing in the completed cards at the enquiry desk at Headington, or at the counters at Wheatley, Harcourt Hill and Dorset House, undergraduates must have each card countersigned by their supervisor or tutor in the appropriate subject, to guard against unnecessary expense. This varies a great deal but you should allow at least three weeks for books, reports and theses. Journal articles from main-stream journals often arrive within a few days and usually within two weeks. Items from abroad will take longer. Most items are for loan but some, like theses, are for reference use only in the Library.
Loans are usually for three weeks, with the possibility of renewal.
Please return loans promptly since we rely on other libraries' good will to lend us material. Fines will be charged on overdue items. Further help If you have any difficulty with your requests, the inter-library loans staff will be pleased to help. Call in at the office on the first floor at Headington or at the Wheatley, Harcourt Hill and Dorset House Library counters. This page is maintained by the Library Webmaster.
