Inter-library loans are requests to other libraries for items that are not held in De Montfort University libraries. In most cases this will be the British Library but if they do not have the item we will do everything that we can to trace a libra ry that does. Supply of material Books Most books are easily obtained.
Exceptions tend to be old, rare or foreign items.
If you are in any doubt, check with the librarian, who you can ask for at the library issue desk. Specific articles are usually supplied as photocopies which the reader may keep. Complete issues of periodicals can be ordered in cases where a large number of pages from the same issue are needed. Theses Most theses will be supplied to you in microfilm. British and more recent American theses can be obtained fairly readily.
