Request FormsAn Inter Library Loan request form must be completed for each item requested. Request forms are available at Library Help Zone and Subject Advice Service points or as a Word document. If using the Word version below, the required information may be input directly into the relevant sections of the form. The form must be printed off and signed before submission and not e-mailed to the Inter Library Loans service. It can be handed in at the Library Help Zone or Subject Advice Service point. Placement students and distance learners can send the printed form to their dissertation supervisor. Requests from undergraduate and postgraduate students must be countersigned by their dissertation supervisor. The copyright declaration must be signed when requesting a copy of a document. The section headed Additional Information can be used for e.g. placement/distance learner students to request that articles/papers are posted to the address indicated on the form. The following information must be supplied:
All requests by students, postgraduate and undergraduate, must be signed by their dissertation supervisor. Inter Library Loan Request Form (Word 44kb) Obtaining resources from other librariesThe University Libraries may not have all the resources you need. We can supplement our own collections by borrowing books, journals, reports, standards, theses and conference proceedings or by obtaining photocopies of journal articles, conference papers and patents. The service is freely available, within set budget limits, to all staff, postgraduate students, and to undergraduate students working on a major project or dissertation at Honours level. Other borrowers may use the service for a fee set to recover costs. The Inter Library Loans service is administered centrally from The Sir Michael Cobham Library. All material must be collected and returned there. Staff and students based at the Lansdowne Campus may use Bournemouth House Library. Please check on the Library Catalogue and/or A-Z of E-journals to see if an item is in stock before filling in an Inter Library Loan request form. Completed Inter Library Loan request forms should be handed in to staff at the Library Help Zone or Subject Advice Service point. Staff there check the forms for accuracy and ensure that you have supplied all the necessary information. This will speed up the supply of your requests. Requests for Inter Library Loans will not be processed if you have any Library books overdue or fines outstanding. Where do Inter Library Loans come from?Most of your requests go to the British Library Document Supply Centre. This is a national service with a very large stock of information sources. It is likely to satisfy most of your Inter Library Loans needs. Secure Electronic Delivery (SED)SED is available to staff and postgraduate students only. Most documents requested as photocopies will be delivered by Secure Electronic Delivery (SED). Instead of receiving a photocopy from the library you will receive in your University email box an email from the British Library that contains a link to a file of your request. Research students who cite their student ID number on the request forms should check their student email to access the electronic documents. If research students prefer to use their staff email address they can set up automatic redirection following the instructions on the following link http://bukb.bournemouth.ac.uk/wiki/Forward_email. SED setting up (20kb PDF) You require Adoble Digital Editions installed on your computer in order to view electronic documents. A request for upgrade should be made to IT Services by logging a job online. Electronic Theses Online Service (EThOS)Electronic Theses Online Service (EThOS) is a British Library service aimed at providing digital copies of UK PhD theses over the web. It is a database of the records of over 300,000 UK theses with the added functionality to enable the requesting of digital copies of selected theses. Personal registration on EThOS is required to be able to download theses. Cost and number of requestsIt costs Bournemouth University a minimum of £6.87 (not including SED) for each Inter Library Loan request sent to the British Library. If we feel that students are making an excessive number of requests we may ask them to consult their dissertation supervisor for further guidance. Students may hand in six requests at any one time and staff twenty requests. Any individual not otherwise eligible, may request Inter Library Loans on payment of £20 per item, made at the time of request. This facility is available to External and Subscription Members of Bournemouth University Library. The fees may be higher for particular classes of material. (BU students who are not eligible pay £6.87 for photocopies and £10.50 for loans.) Replacement Charges Individuals who lose Inter Library Loan items will be responsible for the replacement cost. The British Library charge a minimum of £169.92 (including VAT) per item. More will be charged if the item is particularly expensive to replace. This amount includes an administration fee of £84.96 (including VAT) which is charged if an item is returned after an invoice has been raised. How long will I have to wait for an Inter Library Loan?You may have to wait between two and six weeks for your request to arrive, depending on the time of year and whether there is a waiting list for the item requested. It may take longer than this for material that is difficult to obtain. Please hand in your requests as early as possible. Last-minute requests will often arrive too late for your needs. How do I know when it is ready for me to collect?You will receive an email alerting you to items awaiting collection or if there are any queries relating to your requests. All emails are sent to your University Email Address. If research students prefer to use their staff email address they can set up automatic redirection following the instructions on the following link http://bukb.bournemouth.ac.uk/wiki/Forward_email. In case of email failure owing to viruses etc., you should also check the progress of your Inter Library Loans by going to My Account on the Library Catalogue. To enquire about any of your Inter Library Loan requests, please contact Inter Library Loans staff at the appropriate campus. How long can I keep it?You may keep photocopies of journal articles or conference papers supplied by Inter Library Loans. Most other items may be borrowed for three weeks, with an automatic extension of another three weeks if not required by anyone else. Fines may be payable for any Inter Library Loans returned after the due date. Before returning any item to the Library, make sure that you keep for your bibliography a record of the author, title, publisher and date of publication. Any problems?If you need any further guidance, please contact a member of the Inter Library Loans staff. email: interloans@bournemouth.ac.uk tel: 01202 961290 / 961291 |
