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. All undergraduates should check with their project supervisor first before making an inter-library loan request . There is a charge for this service, though you may be able to obtain an Inter-library loan voucher to pay for this from Angela Wells in the department office.
