Police Degree Programmes: What if it's not in the library?

The inter-library loan service provides material required for course work, research or other Middlesex University business which is not held by the University’s campus libraries.

This includes journal papers from journals we do not have access to, book, conference papers and theses.

The service is available to all students, research staff, academic and administrative staff who are registered with the library.
