Yes, you can use the Inter-Library Loans serviceThis service allows you to apply to obtain books, articles and theses which are not held by Birmingham City University Libraries. There is no charge to you when you apply for items.

Please be aware that the length of time taken to obtain an Inter-Library Loan request varies from a couple of days to a few weeks or even months. This depends on a number of factors, including how quickly the British Library, or any other institution we apply to can supply the item. Journal articles will be usually sent to your University e-mail address.
