How to use Interlibrary Loan
This page provides a basic overview of the Interlibrary Loan Service and how to get started using the system.
The Interlibrary Loan Service:
- Obtains items and articles which are not held in the Deakin University Library collection, from other libraries and suppliers, both within Australia and overseas.
- Supplies items and articles held in the Deakin University Library collection to other libraries.
The Library provides an Interlibrary Loan Service to the following:
- Deakin University staff
- Postgraduate students
- Masters students
- Graduate Diploma students
- Honours students
- Undergraduate students may be eligible - a consultation with a Liaison Librarian is required.
- Other libraries and suppliers
The Service is not available to students studying short courses at Deakin University.
Support research or teaching and learning needs
Requests from Deakin University staff and students for material will only be accepted if it supports the research or teaching and learning needs of Deakin University.
No cost
The Library will provide all non urgent (core) requests at no cost to the requester. Items required urgently (rush and express) incur extra costs that may be passed on to the requester.
No limits
There is no limit on the number of items that may be requested but the Library reserves the right to attach constraints/conditions, if it is deemed that numbers of items requested are excessive.
