Requesting Items From Other Libraries
If a journal article is not available online or from one of our Libraries, we can request this for you from another library. This is known as an Inter-Library Loan (ILL).
Who can request Inter-Library Loans?
If you are on a Higher Education (HE) course, you can use the Inter-Library Loan service to support your studies. If you are not on an HE course but need to request an item via Inter-Library Loan please contact the Library for further information.
How many requests can be made?
Requests are subject to a quota linked to the year of your course as shown below.
| HE Students | Free | £1 per Request |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 or equivalent | 3 | 10 |
| Year 2 or equivalent | 5 | 10 |
| Year 3 or equiavlent | 10 | 10 |
| Masters | 20 | 10 |
Requests made above your quota will be charged at full cost, which could be up to £19 per item. However, we will advise you of any full cost requests before they are ordered.
How do I make a request?
Requests can be made online via our Discover More Search Tool. If the item cannot be located via Discover More please manually complete the ILL Request Form below.
If you have any further questions about the Inter-Library Loan service, please contact the library@lincolncollege.ac.uk.
