If the book, journal article, or other kind of material that you require is not held in stock at any of the AIS locations, you may make use of the Document Supply service. AIS can supplement its existing stock by borrowing, or receiving copies of, material from other libraries both in the UK and abroad.
Document supply is expensive.
Please take care that you request only material which is directly relevant to your course or research. Guides for all electronic databases are available at AIS Enquiry Desks. For any journal articles please make sure that you have seen an abstract before making a request. This will cut down the chances of you waiting for a lengthy period of time for an article that isn't of any use to you. Once you have identified the item that you require and have made sure that it is not in AIS stock then you should complete a Document Supply form.
