The Interlibrary Loans service obtains material from other libraries for AFTRS staff and students to support their study, research or teaching programs.
This service is not available to External or Alumni AFTRS Library members.
Items not held at the AFTRS Library including books, journal articles, conference papers, theses, and DVDs.
Items not usually available to request on interlibrary loan include rare books, reference materials, whole issues or volumes of serials, materials in heavy demand in the lending library, and very recent publications.
Please contact library staff for further advice.
Visit the library and place a request at the Information Desk, via email library@aftrs.edu.au, via phone (02) 9805 6440 or by filing out the Inter-Library Loan form.
Your first ILL request is free compliments of the AFTRS Library (this applies to CORE requests only).*
All requests after the first will incur a charge depending on how urgently the item is required.
The cost can vary from between $16.50 and $49.50.*
*Terms may change without notice.
Requests will be placed as soon as possible after being received. Response time depends on the turn around time of the supplying library or document delivery service. Items requested from overseas will take longer to obtain.
