Written instructions to request an Inter-Library Loan

Please note all requests should be for academic material that relates to your field of study or research.

Before submitting a request, please check the item is not already available at UON. Make sure you are logged in to NELSON and search the collection.

If a print book is in library stock, but out on loan, use the option in the Get It section to reserve the book. You will be notified when it is returned to the library.
If you require a book chapter (one chapter per book) or journal article (one article per issue) from our print library stock, use the option in the Get It section for Scan and Deliver.

To make an ILL request:

Select Inter-Library Loans from the top menu bar. There is also an option for Inter-Library Loans in the Get It section of a title not found in stock.

Select the type of resource, book or article. For book chapters, select book, then tick the box ‘I only need a specific chapter or pages’.
Complete as many fields of information as possible to help us find what you need.
For books, please supply the book title, author and the ISBN (International Standard Book Number). The ISBN is a 10 or 13 digit number e.g. 9781800783744. If you cannot find the ISBN add Unknown in this field.
For book chapters, include all the book information plus the chapter title or number, and the chapter pages. If you do not know the page range add Unknown in this field.
For articles, please supply the article title, journal title, author, ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) and pages. An ISSN is made up of two sets of four numbers separated by a dash e.g. 0750-3628. If you do not know the ISSN or the page range add Unknown in these fields.
Starred fields are mandatory.

When completing the request, you must tick the copyright declaration box to confirm you have read and understood the terms of supply.

The library team will contact you directly via your UON email when there is an update on your request. You can view all your requests on your library account.
