In case you identified a resource or item not in stock from our physical or electronic collections, we have solutions to help you access an alternative copy.
- Add all resources which support your teaching to your module Resource Lists. We will ensure any newly added resources are made available, including digitised chapter requests.
- Purchase suggestions (books, sheet music, DVDs, etc.) which are not for teaching purposes can be requested via Your Choice@BCUlibrary.
- You can request a subscription to new journals or e-resources.
- To request a copy of a journal article, or to borrow a book from another institution, use the Inter-Library Loan service.
Is the item already on loan?
Before you investigate a source for an alternative copy, please double-check for the availability of any items within our catalogue.
If a book is already on loan or is located at one of our other libraries you can use our reservations service to request it.
