Ways to Request Books and Articles

It is very easy to request material online from the library. Depending on your approach, you can use one of two different requesting methods:

1.      Directly from your search results

This method is used if you find a particular item during a search.  For an article which is not available online in full-text you will be offered the ‘Place Request’ option and you will only need to click ‘I agree’ to accept the copyright declaration and submit the request.  For other types of material a ‘Request it’ link may be available in the catalogue and you simply need to specify the location where you would like to pick up the item.

2.     From the ‘Place Request’ link  in the My Account menu

This method is used if you are unable to find a particular item on honni, or no ‘Request it’ link is available, or you don’t have time to carry out a search and prefer to go straight to requesting.  Unlike the first method, where the request form is automatically populated with the item details, you will need to manually input the information.

Paper forms are also available from the library for those who prefer not to use online requesting methods.  There is no charge for requesting books, reports and similar types of publication, but a small charge for article requesting is payable.  For more information see the Book and Article Requesting section on honni.
