Charges

A charge is made on all interlibrary loan services; the charge will vary ($5-$20) depending on where we source the material.  Interloans have an issue period of 3 weeks. 

If you have not been able to identify books or articles on a particular subject we can make a selection of one or two books to interloan on your behalf. Alternatively we can provide a printed list of items available on interloan for you to select from; there is a charge of $5 for this service.
