Digital Requests Overview:
The Inter-Library service uses a system for speedy delivery of digital documents (articles, papers, chapters) directly to your University email account.
Step 1: Sign in: Remember to sign in to your library account (Library Catalogue) with your University username and password.
Step 2: Make sure that you cannot access the material directly from our collection online.
Step 3: You can start your search for digital material directly in the Library catalogue.
Use the search window to add the relevant bibliographic information. If the search doesn't yield any results, click on Expand My Results under the Filter my results section.
Step 4: From the catalogue, request a digital Inter-Library Loan.
If No full text available is displayed, scroll down to the Shelf Locations section and select Request this item from another library.
Step 5: Click on Request this item from another library.
The citation details are automatically filled in. Read and tick the box to accept the copyright declaration, and click the Request button.
Alternatively to this process, you can directly start your search for digital material on your database of choice.
Find the material using databases such as Web of Science, Scopus or Google Scholar, then click on the Library Links button. This action will take you next to the Library Catalogue to the second part of Step 3.
Step 6: If you're still unable to locate the item even after expanding your search in the catalogue, you still can complete and submit an Inter-Library Loan request form with the link below (click red button).
Step 7: Contact the Library team if you have any questions.
The Inter-Library Loans team is here to help you. Please let us know if you have any issues requesting digital material or need an update on your request.
