Subject resources
- The Collections page details useful Sociology collections in our branch libraries, as well as advice on using other university libraries and the British Library.
Inter-library loan vouchers
- If you need an item which is not held anywhere in our library system in print or online, it may be possible for you to use the Inter-library loans Service to obtain it from another library. Please note that here is a charge for this service, so taught postgraduates should always consult their personal tutor in the first instance before applying for an Inter-library loan. If the tutor deems the request reasonable, it may be possible to issue the student with an Inter-library loan voucher (though these are generally reserved for use by academic staff and researchers).
