External Requests

Library holdings are made available to libraries and organisations outside Oxford University through the British Library's Document Supply Service [Opens in new window].

In addition to the British Library service, loans can be supplied to organisations on payment of IFLA vouchers while photocopies requested for non-commercial purposes only can be supplied to organisations and individuals on payment of an invoice or payment with IFLA vouchers. We cannot accept requests submitted on IFLA request forms.

Requests made via the British Library

Requests should be sent by e-mail to ill.rsl@bodleian.ox.ac.uk or by post to the address below. Please quote a request number and your library's BL account code: your request will be delayed if you do not include these.

Requests from outside the UK must be submitted to the British Library initially if payment is to be made from a British Library account.

Please note that the Plant Sciences and Zoology Libraries have now been merged with the Radcliffe Science Library; all requests for British Library Location Codes OX/U-3, OX/U43, and OX/U61 should be submitted to the Radcliffe Science Library, OX/U-8.

Requests made using IFLA vouchers
