Interlibrary Loan form - Book / Thesis / Report

Before you submit a request, please work through the following checklist to ensure it can be ordered on interlibrary loan. Requests which do not meet the criteria will be returned to you by post.

Check the boxes to confirm that you have completed the steps.

1. I have checked Birkbeck Library Catalogue and the item is not available at Birkbeck. (If the item is on loan you will need to reserve it.)

2. This request does not exceed my ILL request limit. (undergraduates: 5, taught postgraduates: 10, research students and staff: 15 requests active at any one time.)

3. I do not have any overdue items or fees on my Library record.

Please complete each section of the form (* indicates required field)

What happens next?

£1 charge (for multi-volume works, £1 per volume) will be added to your Library record when the item is received by the Library, which you should pay on collection of the item and which will apply even if you decide not to collect the item.
Your request will be submitted to BLDSC within 3 working days of receipt of your form. If the item is in stock at BLDSC it will be sent to Birkbeck Library within three to four weeks. We will notify you when it arrives and tell you if you can take it home and for how long. If BLDSC cannot trace the item they will notify us and we will contact you for more information.
We ask that you allow a full two weeks before contacting us for information on the progress of your request as we cannot make enquiries at BLDSC until this period has elapsed.

The details you submit on this form will be used for library purposes only. Click here to read the College Data Protection Statement.
