Inter-library loan vouchers

If you need an item which is not available anywhere in the library system here in print or online, you can use the Inter-Library Loans service to obtain it from another library. There is a charge for this service, though you can obtain an Inter-library loan voucher to pay for this. Please contact Anthea Moody in the Faculty Office. Access to other university libraries and the British Library may be a useful alternative.
