Electronic supply allows for much faster delivery, which we know is important when it comes to getting you the materials you need for your research. Currently, in order to download inter-library loans you need to install the File Open plugin on your computer. This software ensures all requests are compliant with copyright law and locks the article so it can only be viewed on one machine. \u00a0Although it serves its purpose, the process of installing this software can be fiddly, especially on shared machines, so \u2013 like many other institutions -we\u2019ve been asking for an easier and less restrictive option for some time. And now The British Library have unveiled one.<\/p>\n<p>From\u00a0<b>27<sup>th<\/sup> January 2016 <\/b>we will be delivering article and chapter requests supplied by the British Library to you via their\u00a0new service,\u00a0DRM-lite.<\/p>\n<p><b>Benefits of DRM-Lite:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No need to install plugins or special software, access documents on any device with Adobe Reader<\/li>\n<li>PC, laptop, tablet: open your document as many times and on as many different devices as you need to<\/li>\n<li>Saving is permitted and each document may also be printed and a copy retained<\/li>\n<li>The same speedy delivery as the old service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>How do I get articles via DRM Lite?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The process of requesting an inter-library loan is exactly the same as before.
