Interlibrary Loans

Interlibrary Loans

If an item (book, journal, chapter etc.) is unavailable from SETU Waterford Libraries, we can source that item on your behalf from another library or supplier. The service is available to SETU Waterford staff and students and to external borrowers by arrangement, and is known as an Interlibrary Loan.

How to Request

Before you submit the request form, please check WITCat and our A-Z Journals for availability. If you are sure we don’t have the item in question, proceed by filling out the request form as detailed as possible. Journal articles are generally supplied within 3 days, books usually take about 7-10 days. You will be notified by e-mail or telephone when your item arrives. Interlibrary loans must be returned on time or a fine may apply.
