Interlibrary Loan
If you find that a book or journal article that you're looking for is not stocked by us, then we can usually obtain it for you through our interlibrary loan service. This service is available only to staff and students of Anglia Ruskin.
There is a non-refundable charge of £2 per item for an interlibrary loan.
To use this service you should complete a book or an article request form. Enter as much information as possible on the request form. Submit the details of the request, it will be processed upon payment (£2.00 per item). Alternatively you can now send in the confirmation form enclosing the appropriate fee and post to your local campus library:
a) Interlibrary Loans, University Library, Anglia Ruskin University, East Road, Cambridge, CB1 1PT
b) Interlibrary Loans, University Library, Anglia Ruskin University, Bishop Hall Lane, Chelmsford, CM1 1SQ
c) Interlibrary Loans, University Library, Anglia Ruskin University, Victoria House, Capital Park, Fulbourn, Cambridge, CB21 5XA

Collecting your requested item
If you've requested a journal article this will be sent to you by post for your retention. For other items, we'll inform you by post or e-mail when it is available for collection (or, in the case of some theses) for use in the library. Interlibrary loans can only be collected from and must be returned to, the site where the original request was made.
Most requests for journal articles are satisfied within 14 days and requests for books within 21 days - but it is always advisable to make your request as far as possible in advance. Some items may take longer.
Please note that the MINIMUM replacement fee charged for the loss of a book obtained on interlibrary loan is £150.
