Our Inter-Library Loans service can get books not held at Reading from other libraries (usually from the British Library).
For more information see our pages on requesting inter-library loans.
If you are on campus you will be able to access most e-journals and e-books, and some databases, without entering a username and password because your IP address identifies you as being at the University of Reading.
