Make an Inter-Library Loan Request

Renewals

Inter-Library Loans can only be extended through the Inter-Library Loan Team as we must contact the lending library for permission. Renewals are at the discretion of the lending library. Please make a renewal request via NELSON or email to the Inter-Library Loan Team, who will contact you via your UON email address with a response.

Standard Loans

If you have a book on loan from another library and wish to renew your loan, you can do this by logging in to your library account on NELSON and going to the Loans tab. The option to request a renewal is only available six days before your due date. (Before this the loan will show as Not Renewable).
