Changes to library webforms

The Library is making a few small changes to the online request forms for some of its services to ensure we continue to offer you the best service possible.  From 17 September, when you request an interlibrary loan or scan of a journal article or book chapter held by another library, you will be asked to log into the Library catalogue and presented with a new request form to complete.  

This small change will allow us to check our stock automatically and let you know if the item you requested is already available and get everything else you requested to you as quickly as possible.  The only slight downside is that the new system cannot import the details of something you have found in the Discovery Service, and so you will have to fill out the form each time.  

Around the same time, the look of our postal loans request form will also change.  

Both forms will be just as simple to complete as before; they will just look a little different.  If you have any questions or concerns or would like a librarian to help you complete the form, please stop by the Library in person between 11 am – 3 pm, Monday-Friday and speak with the librarian at the Library help desk, email library@port.ac.uk, or chat with a librarian online 24/7.
