  • Locating books or journals in other libraries in Adelaide
    To find out if the libraries of Flinders University, the University of South Australia have the book or journal that you need use the Other Catalogues option from the Library Catalogue.  Alternatively try the State Library catalogue.
     

    NEXT if you cannot find what you need through the Catalogues use

    to find out if a journal is held in another Australian library.  Each record includes HOldings: with a list of the libraries that have the journal. 

    If the article or paper is not available in Adelaide -
    Use Document Delivery facilities, where the Library will get a copy of paper from a library interstate or overseas.  The basic cost is $13.20 per paper.  If you want a paper urgently, consider using the FastTrack service which costs $26.40 per item.

    <>You need your supervisor’s approval and a requisition number if the Department is going to cover the cost of an ILL request.
