If you need an item which is not available anywhere in the library system here, you may be able to obtain it from another library by using the Inter-Library Loans service. There is a charge for this service, though you may be able to obtain an Inter-library loan voucher to pay for this. See the information for undergraduates, postgraduates or academic staff for details of how to obtain these vouchers. Access to other university libraries and the British Library may be a useful alternative.
