Our new inter-library loans website is now live for you to use…
Image: view of the new inter-library loans website
You can access inter-library loans at:
If you’re a student or member of staff at the University of Lincoln, you can then log in (using your normal, University account ID and password) – then place your inter-library loan requests.
You can use inter-library loans to borrow books that we do not have in our library collections. You can also request copies of journal articles, conference papers and book chapters.
We’d like to know what you think of the new system – please log in and leave us your feedback, comments, questions, criticism or praise.
See the FAQs on the Portal for more information, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Attention Inter-library loan users! Our new system will go live Monday 7th December 2009. There will be some changes which you will be guided through when you access the LLR portal page.
In the meantime if you want to keep your past inter-library loan history please ensure you have printed it off/saved it by the 7th December 2009! It will be unavailable after this date. Any Inter-library loan applications on the new system will be retained.
Watch out for further blogs and information in the LLR centres.

Because of the ongoing problems with Secure Electronic Delivery (SED) of articles ordered via our inter-library loan system, Library & Learning Resources have taken the decision to temporarily disable the SED option for newly-registered users until we have a stable software delivery platform for articles in electronic format.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused, and we’d like to assure you that we are trying to resolve this problem.
- For any existing users of the inter-library loan service who have been happily using SED delivery without software problems, we can continue to offer the option of SED delivery. Please annotate your copyright declaration form “SED please” or similar.
All students and staff – you can access the inter-library loan system, and place requests for book loans and postal delivery of paper copies of articles, on the University Portal.
“The inter-library loans service enables you to borrow items (or to receive electronic copies of items) from other libraries via the British Library. You can request books, journal articles, theses, proceedings and patents. There is a 50p copyright charge for some requests.”

If you are attempting to download an SED document delivered by email from the British Library and are presented with the screen shown below, please select Adobe Reader. This should open your document immediately for viewing and printing. The document will also be available to view through Adobe Reader’s Digital Editions for the usual fourteen day period.
Do not select Digital Editions as you will be prompted to upgrade your software. This is an unnecessary step and will result in you being unable to download your document.
If you have any queries regarding this information please contact acquisitions@lincoln.ac.uk. Thank you.

Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) is required to download documents electronically from the BL.
From 1 April 2009 onwards new installations of the Adobe Reader cannot be supported. Users who have not installed ADE before this date and who have requested SED through the Inter-library loan service will not be able to download their articles. If you receive an article via e-mail from the BL and have not previously installed the ADE software, please forward the message to acquisitions@lincoln.ac.uk. We will print the article on your behalf. Please indicate whether you would like to collect the article and from which site. Alternatively, we can post the article out to you.
You will not be affected if you have successfully installed ADE and downloaded documents before 30 March.
We are working to provide an alternative solution and will keep you informed of progress.

It is a year since Library and Learning Resources introduced this online service and we are pleased to report that this has largely resulted in comments such as “I’ve received my journal article this morning – what an efficient service”.
Since then…
…4740 requests have been satisfied.
…Over 39% of the articles and chapters were supplied by SED (Secure Electronic Delivery) within 4.8 days, with photocopies taking on average two days longer to arrive.
…Most of the loans requested were supplied within 8 days.
Here in the Acquisitions office we are kept entertained with some of the more obscure requests and each day brings new sourcing challenges so we would like to say;
“Happy Birthday to the Online Inter-Library Loan Service!”
