Document Delivery: Information for other Libraries

Accessing materials from other libraries

Who can request items from the University of Exeter Libraries?

We supply books or journal articles / book chapters to:

  • UK British Library account holders
  • International Libraries who participate in the IFLA voucher scheme

Members of the public are welcome to visit and consult our collections on a reference only basis but we cannot supply our materials directly to unaffiliated individuals. You will need to apply via another institution that has a British Library account e.g. your public library. Please talk to staff at your home university or public library for further assistance.
