The British Library is recalling all books which have been on loan for more than 12 weeks. The ILL team will be contacting anyone with books which are need to be returned. If you need to post books back to the library you can use the Free Postal Returns service.
Current services from British Library include: a temporary catalogue, and loans from open stacks in the Lending Division (in Boston Spa, Yorkshire). Books held in the miles of compact shelving are currently unavailable but we may have access in August. There is currently no information about when British Library will be able to supply from e-resources.
British Library is just one of many libraries who supply books to Durham University, so the ILL team are working hard to source material from elsewhere. We should be able to source most books from other suppliers in the UK, but we continue to experience problems obtaining international material which is normally supplied via British Library. We will keep you updated as we find out more. The ILL team will be happy to answer any queries regarding individual requests. Contact the ILL team at interlibrary.loans@durham.ac.uk .
You can get in touch through our live chat service or by email, and search our FAQs for answers to your questions.
