Supply Centre using 'stock and location search' (SL) and stating that
Cambridge holds this item. BLDSC will then forward the request to us.

We normally ask you to send an e-mail request, but please phone first as
our staff will be able to advise whether or not we will be able to fulfil
your request. Please mark all Priority Service requests with *PRIORITY* in

Lending policy
Cambridge University Library offers a six week loan period from the date of
dispatch, but all items are subject to recall if required by a Cambridge
user. All loans are strictly "for use in library only", but in most cases
copying is permitted if undertaken by a member of library staff and
adhere's to UK Copyright Law. Copying permissions are easily identified by
our coloured wrapper - Green for 'yes' - Red for 'no'.
We are also happy to offer renewals at no extra charge, providing the item
has not been recalled. Please contact us by email if a renewal is required.
We lend a considerable percentage of our holdings except:
- Pre-1900 books in Rare Books classes (although we may be able to provide
a photocopy if the item is out of copyright) - British books published
within the last five years received under legal deposit - Books in
reference classes - Unsuitably bound items (spiral bound, ring-binder,
loose-leaf, etc.) - Manuscripts - Special collections - Cambridge Theses* -
Newspapers
In addition,
- We are unable to photocopy articles from journals received under legal
deposit which have been published within the last two years
* Individuals may be able to purchase a copy of a Cambridge Thesis by
contacting the Imaging Services Department, who will provide an estimate of
costs. http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/deptserv/imagingservices/
Speculative requests
We are happy to accept speculative requests. Not all our holdings are
listed on our Online Catalogue. There are various printed catalogues still
in use, e.g. pre-1978 supplementary material, Official Publications,
pamphlets. There are also many books still waiting to be catalogued.
Therefore, if you require a book not listed, please still apply as we may
be able to help.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued
support. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions
concerning our ILL services.
Kind regards
