This service is only to support your studies. If you need something for personal interest use your local public library.

Off-Air Recordings
If you need an off-air recording, contact one of the technicians to arrange it. This must be done in advance.
If you have missed an important broadcast the Library is a member of the British Universities Film & Video Council (BUFVC) and may be able to help. This service is only available mainly for teaching staff.  However,  if you can get authorisation from your tutor because you need a recording for your dissertation, contact  UCEEL and they will request the item (on video or DVD - please specify) from the BUFVC if possible. The turnaround is normally two to three weeks but may take longer at busy times. The recording must only be used for private study and is not for entertainment or group viewing.
