We will try to obtain any item required for University College London research, which is not already held in any of the UCL libraries, and not easily available from other libraries to which UCL members have access.
Items available at another site of UCL must be collected from the home site, or requested using our Inter-site service.
Requests can be made as follows:
Select Inter-library Loan Request from the options which appear, and complete the form.
Current UCL staff/students/NHS will not be charged. A £3 additional charge may be incurred for renewals. Fines for interlending items are charged in the same way and at the same rate as UCL Library Services standard loans - currently 20p per day. More information about inter-library loans can be found at the dedicated Interlending & Document Supply page.
