Q. How do I request a book that the library doesn't currently have?

You will only be able to place an inter-library loan request if we do not have access to a physical or electronic copy of the material within LJMU libraries.

Go to Inter-Library Loan and select Article, Book or Journal

Fill in the form with as much detail as possible

When you click Submit you will be prompted to sign in for more options

Once signed in you can place the inter-library loan request

Depending on what material you request, we need the following information:

• Journal article - ISSN, journal title, the relevant year, the volume and/or part number, page numbers, article author and article title.
• Book - ISBN, surname and initials of the author(s) and/or editor(s), full title, publisher, date of publication
• Book chapter - as Book but we also need the chapter title, author and page numbers
• Thesis - author, title of thesis, type and date of degree and the awarding University details
• Conference paper - conference title, date and venue of the conference, sponsor, author of paper and title
