Q. Can I request a book/journal article that the library does not have?

You can use the Inter library requests (ILR) service to borrow books we don't hold in The Hive. You can find out more about how to apply for one here.

Please allow at least 2 weeks for the book to be available to borrow (although sometimes they can arrive earlier) especially during busy periods such as during dissertation and independent study modules. 

You can also request a copy of a journal article if we don't hold the journal in print or electronically.
