Is there a charge for an interlibrary loan, and how many requests can I place?

Answer

Unlike many academic libraries, we do not charge for inter-library loan requests. However, there are annual limits on the number of requests you can make. This is because each request costs the Library around £18. The following limits are in operation:

  • Undergraduate students: 5 items annually
  • Postgraduate and research students: 20 items annually
  • Staff: 20 items annually

For funded research projects that require large numbers of inter-library loans, Academic Schools and other departments are expected to include a costed figure within their funding bids which will be used to fund your requests. We are happy to advise you on this – contact us at interloans@gsa.ac.uk
