An inter-library loan is an essential book or article which you need that is not held by the University of Huddersfield Library.

We request items on your behalf from the British Library and other libraries in the UK or overseas. It is often delivered as a digital copy via email, and sometimes as a print copy via the library help desk.

All registered students and staff at the University of Huddersfield can use the service to support their university work or study.

If the title you require doesn't appear on Library Search (due to it being too old or too new) then there is a manual form you can complete for your inter-library loan request.
