The Library pays other libraries for items received with the expenditure deducted from the Library budget.
Occasionally items are expensive to obtain and we will ask you to contribute to the cost. We will only proceed after receiving advice from you.
Turnaround times are estimates only and depend on a variety of factors including accuracy of details provided, supplier availability and time spent in transit.
Interlibrary loans and postal loans are not available to students and staff residing overseas (offshore).
