For patrons wanting an interloan, you can direct them to their Interloans Account (click on ‘Create Request’ to open a blank form).  We ask the form to be filled out to meet copyright, but also patrons can track progress online, request renewals, and download items sent to them.

We can occasionally interloan e-books, but for the most part they still arrive as hard copies (can take a few days or a few weeks, depending on supplier).

Interloans are also legally allowed only for private research or study.   For lecturers requesting interloans for LEARN, it would be great if they can email learncopyright@canterbury.ac.nz, so we can arrange the compliance.  There is a notes field on the interloans form that patrons can use, but our automated interloans system won’t pick up special instructions before the article is supplied (in some cases very quickly).
