Inter Library Loans

The Inter Library Loans service enables you to get items related to your academic studies that we do not have in our own stock. 

See why doesn't the Library have the article or book I need?

We may buy an eBook to meet a request.  In a small number of cases it is not possible to get requested material.

Check access and auto-complete the online form

  • Please seach for the item below to see if we already have access to the full text
  • If the item appears in the search results but says citation online (not full text), click on the search result anyhow
  • You should then see an option to request this item via the Inter Library Loan service. This will attempt to auto-complete the inter-library loan request form for you.
