What am I allowed to do with my interlibrary loan?
Answer
All inter-library loans are provided for non-commercial research or private study only, and certain copyright restrictions apply. When you place your request, you will be asked to declare that:
- You will use the item solely for the purposes of non-commercial private research
- You will not supply or distribute the item to another person
- To the best of your knowledge, no other person with whom you work or study has made, or intends to make, a request for substantially the same material for the same purpose
Students and staff will normally be allowed to photocopy inter-library loans for personal use, subject to the normal copyright limits that are on display next to the copiers in the Library. On occasion, the issuing library may place photocopying restrictions on an item, and you will not be able to photocopy in these instances
Staff must not distribute material supplied through inter-library loan to their students, either through photocopying or scanning. If you would like your students to read a particular article or chapter, you must use our Scanning Service instead.
