eCallslips: the electronic requesting system

In order to request Library collection material electronically from the Library's online catalogue, you must first register as a National Library Reader.

Requests can be submitted at any time but the collection delivery service operates Monday-Saturday - please check the service delivery times.

You must show your Reader Card or other form of identification when collecting items reserved in your name.

  • Readers may have up to 15 items in concurrent use in the Main Reading Room.
  • A maximum of 5 items can be held on the Reserve Shelves for 5 days after the date of request.
  • Items not collected from the A-Z pigeonholes will be returned to the stacks at the end of the day.
  • All items delivered from offsite storage are placed on the Reserve Shelves - ask at the Issues desk for these items.
  • If you do not have access to the Internet, you may request up to 2 items through our telephone service.
