LIBRARY SERVICES

University libraries

Library resources and services are available at most Australian universities for a fee. You can access both print and electronic resources including databases, books, journals and multimedia items. You can also use the Inter-Library Lending and Document Delivery Service (ILDDS) which provides mail service access to material held at other Australian libraries (either loans or photocopies). In addition, library staff can assist in arrangements for students to borrow in person from other Australian academic libraries. Loan of items is only available to students located in Australia.

Contact a university library near you and ask them about library membership. To search for an appropriate university library, visit the Australian libraries gateway website at: www.nla.gov.au/apps/libraries.

Public libraries

Any person with a Public Library Membership Card can make a request to borrow items from other libraries.

Reservation and/or Inter-Library loan charges may apply. Please be aware that the lending conditions are set by the supplying library.
