You may request up to 40 interlibrary loans per academic year at a charge of 1 per request. Complete and sign an interlibrary loan form, for each item required and return to the library. As a distance learner you do not need the forms countersigned by your tutor. The time it takes for interlibrary loans to arrive 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.
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. It provides information on what resources the library has, where they are held and whether or not they are out on loan. In addition, you may also check your borrower record, renew and reserve books.
