Journal Article Inter-Library Request (online form)
The journal article inter-library request service is available to NHS members of the Health Library and staff, students and researchers at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Keele University. Complete the online form to send your request directly to the ILL team.
Before you complete the request form, please follow these instructions carefully, or there may be a delay in fulfilling your request.
Instructions:
1. Check the library resources to ensure that the journal article you need is not already available:
Journals collections :: Google scholar
2. Enter as much information as you can about the journal article you require. The more information you supply us with, the quicker we can complete your request.
3. Ensure that you complete all compulsory fields as the form cannot be submitted without them.
4. If submitting a substantial batch of requests, be aware that we will only process 5 requests a day.
5. Copyright Note: Due to copyright restrictions, we can not supply you with your requested article unless you have completed and dated the copyright declaration indicating that you agree to ALL the copyright statements. For any requests where the copyright declaration has not been completed, we will require you to come into the library to complete the declaration before collecting the items.
5. If you want to be notified of the arrival of your request by telephone please remember to include a phone or bleep number, otherwise notifications will be by email.
6. All copyright declarations on request forms must be ticked and dated; and requests paid for before the item can be collected or sent out to you.
