New Services

With the first day of Easter term today we thought we'd flag up some new services for getting material not available in the library.

For books and journal articles not available in Cambridge you can now do an Inter-Library Loan request: 

Current charges for the service are as follows:-

University Members (including students, staff, resident and non-resident MA's/BA's
Photocopies within 2-5 days *	£3.00
Loans within 2-5 days *	£3.00
Secure Electronic Delivery within 2-5 days *	£3.00
Loan renewals	£3.00

Urgent Action Service
Photocopies received via post within 24 hours *	£9.00
Loans received via post within 24 hours *	£9.00
Secure Electronic Delivery within 24 hours *	£9.00
Photocopies received via fax within 2 hours *	£12.00
* SERVICE TIMES ARE APPROXIMATE AND ARE BASED ON THE REQUESTED ITEM BEING CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AT THE BRITISH LIBRARY DOCUMENT SUPPLY CENTRE

All loans requested will have to be picked up and returned to the Central Science Library NOT the Department Library. If you wish to make a request, you must come in person to the library to fill in the form. Payment is made at the point of submitting a request and it must be in CASH only. Receipts are available. The charges for the normal service are a flat rate regardless of whether the request is for a photocopied article, the loan of an item or an SED (Secure Electronic Delivery).

Inter-site Document Delivery Service

We now offer a document delivery service between the Betty and Gordon Moore Library  and the Department Library for the Materials Science Journal stock now held at the Moore. Paper copies of journal articles held in the Moore’s Materials Science journal collection will be delivered to the department within a target of 48 hours (during the normal business week). Faxing, emailing or posting documents to third party addresses will not be a delivery option at this time. No more than two articles may be requested by each reader on any given day.

The fees for this service are:

70p for an article of up to 10 pages in length

£1.50 for an article over 10 pages in length

 

Please come in and ask the Librarian about either of these two services.
