Inter-Library Loans

Information about the inter-library loan service

How long will it take?

In all instances we aim to supply the requested item as soon as we can, but this is dependent on availability. Please allow a minimum of two weeks. 

Although requests for articles and book chapters can take as little as 2-3 days to complete, and book loans 1-2 weeks, in some instances these can take several months, so it is not possible to guarantee a delivery date. 

For book purchases, if an e-book is available from our suppliers, we aim to provide access within 1-2 weeks of purchase. Print purchases can take longer, approximately 3-6 weeks. Occasionally there may be unforeseen delays in delivery.
