Staff and matriculated students of the University of Edinburgh can use DiscoverEd to make the following types of request:
- Request items which are on loan to other borrowers

- Request items which are held at other University of Edinburgh Library sites
- Request scans of printed materials held by the Library
- Request items which are not owned by the Library, via Interlibrary Loan
