Borrowing: most items in the library are available for loan to EI members
Just e-mail lis@energyinst.org giving your name, your EI membership number and the book number of each item you wish to borrow. (You will find the number on the catalogue record).
You may borrow up to four items at a time for up to four weeks. You may renew an item up to three times if noone else wants to borrow it.
We ask that you refund the cost of postage. We will send items by First Class post unless otherwise instructed. Loans are free if you collect the items.
Please note - We only lend to non-members via the BLDSC Interlibrary loan scheme.
If we do not hold an item we can try and borrow it for you from another library (for a fee to cover our costs), or we may consider purchasing it for library stock. Please e-mail lis@energyinst.org giving as much information as possible on the item, such as:
Author(s) / Editor(s) name(s)
Title of book or article
Edition
Journal title
Date of publication
Page numbers required
Publisher's name
ISBN or ISSN
Where you saw the reference cited
Please also include any other information which will help us find it for you - we will try our best but the more clues we are given, the more likely we are to find it!
Photocopying (all charges subject to VAT)
See our Library Charges for charges - for legal reasons we are compelled to make a charge.
Visitors to the library can purchase photocopy cards and do their own copying.
Otherwise the library staff can copy and supply items for you.
Please provide as much information about the item required as possible, including where you saw the reference or how you heard about it.
Photocopy declaration forms
Before we can supply a photocopy you must complete and sign a photocopy declaration form and either fax or send it to us (for legal purposes we need your signature):
For private use - Photocopy declaration form - non-commercial
For commercial use - Photocopy declaration form - commercial
(If you require material for commercial use there will be an extra fee to pay set by the publisher, or a default fee of £9+VAT (£10.50 from 1 January 2011) set by the Copyright Licensing Agency. We will let you know before we do any copying.)
We will respond as soon as possible - usually within one working day. If you have heard nothing within one week please contact us again.
