Electronic Inter-Library Loans

Academics and researchers may now receive their inter-library loans electronically to their desktop. If you would like to make use of this service follow these instructions:
  1. Download Adobe Digital Editions from the British Library website.
  2. You will still need to fill in the same inter-library loan form & return it to the Library.
  3. Be sure to specifiy "Secure Electronic Delivery" on the form or it will arrive in hard copy.
  4. You will receive an e-mail with a hyperlink to the document. It can be accessed and printed only once.
  5. If you have any questions about using this service or problems downloading the software please contact Valerie Allison, Senior Library Assistant (x4202).

Please Note: Electronic Inter-Library loans are currently only available to staff and researchers not to students. It is likely that the service may be extended to M level groups at the next stage of development.
