Introduction

Document Supply to Mental Health Service staff is provided by Document Delivery staff at the Barr Smith Library of the University of Adelaide.  The library has an excellent collection in psychology and psychiatry and mental health services and includes  material from the Hugh Birch Library  (Glenside Hospital) collection. Mental Health Service staff also have access to many full text journals from any computer with an Internet connection.

All requests are handled by the SA Mental Health Service Library officer who supplies material from our library.  If the item is not held the request is transferred to Interlibrary Loan staff who obtain material from Australia or anywhere in the world to satisfy your research needs. We endeavor to supply in a two day turnaround for requests that are available from our collection and Interlibrary requests take a little longer (usually: copies within 7 days and books 2 weeks).

Material is supplied to Mental Health Service staff at no cost to the individual although the costs are covered by the service agreement.

General information

Requests for the provision of photocopies can be processed only when the declaration required by the Copyright Act has been completed. This declaration must be signed by the end user of the photocopied article and not by a research assistant or other member of staff. The copyright signature must be in ink and must not be photocopied. You must fill in a separate form for each article.
 

Books

Please ensure that the book is returned  in time for its return to the lending library by the due date. Renewals are not normally granted on loans of books on interlibrary loan. If you require one chapter, or up to ten percent of a book (whichever is greater), a photocopy may be requested.
