A guide to Document Supply
The University of Bedfordshire is one of the 40% of Universities nationally that offer free Document Supply services to our students and staff.
If you can't find what you're looking for from either the Library Catalogue or DISCOVER you may still be able to get hold of the item from another library through the Document Supply Service.
We can obtain a range of materials for you including: books, issues of journals, journal articles, single chapters of books and conference papers
