• Re-launching soon with web forms for requests

If we own the item in Library stock

If we have paid for copyright clearance via the British Library

If material is not already available in e-format

• Allow at least 20 working days for request to be checked for copyright compliance and completed

• Material is licensed for the duration of the module and then needs to be removed/renewed
