Waite Library Document Delivery Service

Interlibrary Loans

This service supplies items not held by the University of Adelaide Library.

For details, please click on this link.

University staff and students and PIRSA/SARDI staff  may request items to be obtained from another library.

Alumni and Community members of the Library and other approved users may also use the service.

Intercampus Requests

This service will obtain an item that is held at another University of Adelaide campus or in the Joint Library Store (URRSA) and send it to your campus library for you to collect (if a book) or directly to you by email or fax or post, if a photocopy.

Please use the electronic request form to request books or journal articles.

If the catalogue indicates that the item is on loan, you should place a Request for a Recall using the Library catalogue. See How to Request that a book on loan be held for you.

Reserve collection, 7-day loan and Special Collection items are not available for intercampus requests.

There is no charge for a loan but a prepaid charge of $2.20 per 20 pages is levied for photocopies. If you do not have an account from your department you must prepay for photocopies at the Loans desk.

Electronic requests

An electronic request form  is available for all Document Delivery services listed above.

The electronic form eliminates the need to fill in personal details and, whenever possible, enables you to 'cut and paste' a citation to the form. A copy of the electronic request is automatically sent to your email when you submit the form online.

Advanced level students and staff, including PIRSA/SARDI may charge the cost to a departmental account.  A Departmental Account code or a Requisition number must be provided on the request form.

Other users must pay cash in advance at the Library desk, and then enter the receipt number and the date of payment on the request form.

Note that GST will apply for all cash payments and for non-University accounts.

Remote Students

The Remote Student Library Service supplies study related material to students who are remote or are enrolled as external students at the University of Adelaide.

Only students who live outside metropolitan Adelaide (i.e.: students whose phone number does not start with 81, 82 , 83 or 84) are eligible to use the service.
