Request an Item

You can request a book which is on loan to another Library user. When you place your request, the person who has the book will be asked to return it within a week.

Note

The Catalogue record shows the number of existing requests for an item. If it has already been requested, you will join the queue.

First locate the item in the Library Catalogue and display its bibliographic record.

Click on the Requests & Interlending button to display the Requests Page. If you are not currently logged in to your account, you will be prompted for your details at this stage.
Choose LSE Book Request from the drop down list of request types. Select the type of copy you require.
For security purposes you are prompted for your Library barcode number again.
Click on the Submit Request button. When the copy is returned to the Library it will be held for you at the Service Counter for five days. If you opt for email notification, the Library will notify you when your request is ready for collection.
