The British Library is experiencing a technology outage and is currently unable to process Document Delivery requests. All requests sent to the British Library just prior to the outage on 31 October 2023 have been cancelled.

• We will try to obtain book and article requests via other UK libraries where possible in the interim, but there will be a delay in processing and supplying requests via these alternative sources.
• You can continue to return any outstanding Document Delivery books to the campus library where the book was issued, and we will return to the British Library / other UK libraries as usual.
