I can't find it in the library!

Some of you who are in the midst of dissertations may have enountered a problem - you've found what seems to be the perfect piece of material but UoB libraries don't seem to have it in stock, so what can you do?

The library has a document supply service which enables you to obtain materials not in stock at any of our campus libraries or held electronically. It's available to:
  • final year undergraduates (5 free requests)
  • postgraduates (20 free requests)
  • researchers, doctoral students and staff (25 free requests)
For more information about this service check out the Document Supply pages on lrweb.

The University of Bedfordshire is also a member of SCONUL Access. This is a co-operative venture between most higher education libraries of the UK and Ireland. By joining SCONUL access you are able to borrow material from other participating libraries. Check the list of member libraries to ensure that the library that you need participates in the scheme.

The SCONUL Access website gives more details, including an online application form.
