If you can't find the books you need

You may request or reserve print books from any campus whether they are on loan or not, using the Reserve this item button in the Library Catalogue.

Choose where you want to collect the item and you will be notified via email when it is available to collect. [Note that Two Day Loan and Part Time loan items are not included].

If we don't hold the book on any campus then you can request it using our online Document Delivery service. We'll borrow the book or obtain a scanned chapter from the British Library on your behalf. Ask library staff for more details.
