InterLibrary Loans [ILL] - Obtaining material not held at Angliss

Items can be obtained from other libraries on a limited basis.
This service is most useful for you when...
· There is some lead time, as the librarian is only available one day a week.
· The articles are required are of value to your hospital department.
Requests are handled on Friday, and generally take a week; sometimes longer.

The easiest way to request an ILL is to send the librarian (email or snail) a copy of the complete citation from the database, with your name and contact details on the request.

Journal/Book Locating Service

This service is only available when the librarian is there.
Useful if you want to know where a journal or book might be held in Melbourne. Less than 10% of journals are available free on the Internet.

Books from other Eastern Health Libraries

All the other libraries, Box Hill, Maroondah and Peter James, will lend books, either directly to you, or through the librarian. This is subject to the needs of their own staff.
Requests are handled on Friday.
