  • Email requests are not accepted.
  • Use the Request a Book form for Books, Scores, and DVDs/Videos
  • Australian and overseas libraries will not supply CDs and some DVDs/Videos

As this is an expensive service you will be contacted to check whether you want the library to proceed. You may be asked to seek approval from your supervisor before the library will request an overseas loan.
