Inter-library loan vouchers

• If you need an item which is not held 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 should be able to obtain an Inter-library loan voucher to pay for this from the Chemistry Library.
