If we do not hold a copy of a particular book, report, article or other publication that you would like to view, we may be able to obtain a copy from an interstate or overseas library.
Also, if you live outside the Hobart area, we may be able to send reference items to your local library for you to view.
How do I request an interlibrary loan?
Please complete a book/copy request form.
Does it cost anything?
Yes. Charges can be viewed on the fees and charges page.
How long will it take?
Items will generally arrive a couple of weeks after the request has been made. If an item is needed urgently, we can organise a rush service for an extra charge.
Can I take the item out of the library?
No. You are only permitted to view the item within the requesting library.
Can I request a journal article?
Yes. You may also request a photocopy of a journal article. You may keep any photocopies.
Can I search interstate libraries myself?
Yes. Libraries Australia provides access to the national database of material held in Australian libraries.
