After-hours: Inter-Library Loans (ILL)

The Information Librarian: after-hours serves all Faculties from 14:30 - 23:00 in the evenings from Monday to Friday.

Inter Library Loans Service

An Inter-Library Loan (ILL) is a free service that is provided by the library to supplement material not available in the VUT Libraries. The ILL function endeavours to obtain material not available in the VUT library from other libraries on behalf of its clients.

Masters and doctoral students, and all VUT personnel and researchers are entitled to an inter-library loan service if they need books, theses or articles that are not available in the Vaal University Library. The preferred method of requesting inter-library loans is via e-mail or electronically by registering with Sabinet. There is no limit on the number of items that may be requested at any given time but take note that the loan period is determined by the lending library.  The operating hours for the ILL office are between 07:45am to 16:30pm Monday to Friday.

If the item you need to get hold of is not available from our library catalogue, Google Scholar or Google you can request the item from another library via Inter Library Loans.

For further information please contact Ms Nthabiseng Matunda (Check Box Across Right) or your subject information specialists.
