How do I obtain an item the Library doesn't own?
Answer
If you want something and we don’t have it what you need to do is request a copy and this is known as a resource request - https://librarysearch.exeter.ac.uk/discovery/blankIll?vid=44UOEX_INST:default
To do this you can find this at the top of our Library Search [catalogue]
https://librarysearch.exeter.ac.uk/discovery/search?vid=44UOEX_INST:default&lang=en
under :
On the form this launches you can request a whole book or article :
Or you can just ask for a chapter or set of pages :
So complete the form as fully as you possible can, the more information you give the quicker it can be and then
The other way to approach this is you can search for the article on the catalogue :
and then see if a link to get the full text comes up:
I select the item by clicking on the title and check if the Library owns it and then if not at the bottom is ‘Get a Digital copy’
Select ‘Get It’ and you can complete the form and select ‘Send’ :
If the item is easily available it will be with you by email very quickly, if it’s harder to get hold of we will need to intervene and it may take longer but keep checking your emails.
