Requesting and reserving

Would you like to view or borrow physical material from our collection? You can request the items, and a staff member will place it in the library's collection cabinet for you to pick up. Items that have been borrowed can be reserved.

You will be notified by email when your request is availabe for collection. You then have nine days to pick up the item(s).

When will my request be ready for collection?

Are you requesting material that is located at a different library than where you want to pick it up? Then it will take one working day longer before it is ready for collection. Delivery from depositories and other locations is not possible on weekends and public holidays.
