Online document delivery form now available!

The Library now has a new online document delivery form which is now active and available to all requesters. This means that students and staff can now request items to be ordered using our document delivery service online. The form, together with information about payment of charges etc, can be accessed via the Online Requesting tab on the document delivery pages of The Library web-site at http://www.salford.ac.uk/library/services/documentdelivery#online-tab. For help using the form, go to one of the enquiry desks in the library and staff there will be happy to assist you.

Potential delays to the British Library Document Supply service

The British Library stores some of its collections in storage buildings in Boston Spa, West Yorkshire.In common with many buildings built at the same time, asbestos was used in the construction of the Boston Spa site, and The British Library has a continuous programme of asbestos detection and removal. The major asbestos removal works currently planned are expected to last for much of 2011. Consequently, there could potentially be delays to some items ordered via our document supply system. However, to minimize the disruption caused by the temporary closure of some areas of The British Library Boston Spa site, we will seek to find an alternative source of supply for items identified as delayed, and we will update our requesters of any delay reported.
