We can find most books, even if you cannot see them on the shelves of your local library. Our Inter Library Loans service enables us to look nationwide.
We can also request photocopies from serials and periodicals. Because of copyright restrictions we cannot request a photocopy of more than one article from the same volume. We do sometimes request the whole volume in this case for you to look at.
The more details you provide, the easier and quicker we can supply it.
