Interlibrary loans and document delivery
Interlibrary loans involve Curtin borrowing the item from another library on your behalf. In most cases you will need to come to the Library to collect your interlibrary loan. You will need to return the borrowed item to Curtin Library by the due date so we can return it to its home library.
Document delivery involves Curtin Library obtaining a copy of a book chapter, journal article, conference paper etc for you from another library. The copy will be supplied to you to keep, normally by email.
Before requesting this service you should consider borrowing the item you need in person from another library, or suggesting we purchase the item.
