The Inter-Library Loans service can obtain copies of most books and periodical articles which are not in the University Library. Follow these steps to obtain an inter-library loan. Check thoroughly that the item is not in stock - ask Library staff to confirm this if you are not sure. Fill in the appropriate inter-library loan form. Forms are available from the Inter-Library Loans Desk at the Main Library Whiteknights or from the Information Desk at Bulmershe Library.
Most periodical articles come within two weeks.
You will usually get a photocopy of the article to keep. Books can take much longer to arrive. You will usually be able to keep them for 3-6 weeks. If the item is rare or valuable, or a thesis, you might be required to read it in the Library. Further information can be found on the Inter-Library Loans web page .
