Inter-library lending

Interlibrary lending is a well established co-operative activity among Australian libraries. By borrowing and lending to one another to meet the information needs of their users, individual library collections - including those overseas - can be accessed to support and compliment the collections of Australian libraries.

Try an 'Advanced search' to find and access Australian library catalogues via the Gateway. If you find an item(s) you want to borrow (or obtain a photocopy of) we suggest you follow the steps below:

1. Note down the full bibliographic details of the item - title, author, publisher, date and place of publication, ISBN etc. Your favourite Australian publishers & booksellers may be able to help with these publication details.

2. Find your library (ie your public, school, work, university or state/territory library), and check whether they hold the item/s. Ask if they will allow you to borrow the item or use it in the library - and don't forget to find out about any costs and/or other conditions.

   NB^* Not all items listed in a library's catalogue may be available for loan. Many items are rare, fragile or in high demand and the holding library may, therefore, not agree to the item being borowed or photocopied. Consider using surrogates (eg varient editions, microform copies).

3. If an item is not available from your own library's collection, ask if they are willing/able to borrow or obtain a copy of the item/s from another library on your behalf (eg the item may be located in another library's catalogue via the Gateway, union catalogues or the National Bibliographic Database (NBD)).

   Conditions may apply and do vary between libraries - the Australian Interlibrary Lending Resource Sharing (ILRS) Directory helps to establish an individual library's policy and charges for interlibrary loan to another library - some libraries pass on the full costs of lending to users while others absorb these costs and provide the service free of charge to their users. Ask your library about charges and if you are borrowing a returnable item (eg a book), your should also check the conditions of loan, including your responsibilities if the item is lost or damaged.

Australian libraries have agreed on a set of standard fees to cover the cost of inter-library lending. These are set out in the Australian Interlending Code, however, you should note that these costs are a guide only and not all libraries follow them. Informal library networks operate amongst libraries with similar subject collecting interests or those located within regional areas.
