Any item not held by the Department of Industry and Trade Library may be requested on interlibrary loan.
Some exceptions are very old, rare, recently published or reference books.
The loan period varies but is generally 4 weeks. In some cases a lending library stipulates that the book must be used in the library only. Libraries will not usually lend entire issues or volumes of journals but will photocopy particular articles. Conference papers Most published conference proceedings are readily available for loan, or alternatively, a single paper can be photocopied. If a library does not hold the proceedings we will endeavour to obtain it from the organizing body.
