Interlibrary Loans

What is Interlibrary loans?

The Interlibrary Loans Department acts as a link between the University of Cape Town Libraries and other libraries in Southern Africa and abroad. If a required book or article is not available at UCT, it may be requested on interlibrary loan. There is no cost for items obtained within South Africa.
