News
Change to DDS renewals: Feb 2012

Due to new procedures at the British Library we will only be allowing one renewal per DDS book due to the British Library now charging £4.20 for each renewal. In addition if the book is not returned on time we will automatically be charged even if it is still in transit.

The loan period for a book is now five weeks. We would ask users requiring a renewal to give DDS a weeks notice.

Document Delivery is a service not only for staff and postgraduates. Third and Final year students can register to use DDS for material not available in the library for any projects, book reviews and final year dissertations.

 

About the Document Delivery Service

You may request books, reports, theses or articles from journals via the Document Delivery Service. It is not possible to guarantee to obtain any item within a specified period. For example, articles from mainstream journals often arrive within a few days, while some books may take several weeks.

Books are posted to this Library for you to pick up, journal articles are scanned and emailed to your university email address via Secure Electronic Delivery.
