Who can use this service?

  • Contracted academic staff
  • PhD candidates
  • Masters by Thesis students
  • Masters by Coursework students with a major thesis component
  • MD students
  • Honours students
  • External Students (Broome and Fremantle Campuses only)
  • Students with a disability or medical condition that affects their studies

To be eligible to use the document delivery service you must have an unencumbered Notre Dame Library account.
To access this service you must use your Notre Dame email account.

How do I lodge a request?

Before lodging a request for document delivery check to see if the item is held in the University of Notre Dame Library.

For books:

  • Search Summon
  • Check to see if it is available via a local reciprocal borrowing scheme (you may be able to get the item quicker this way)
  • Consider whether this would be useful resource for other staff and students and make a recommendation for the Library to purchase the item using the Resource Recommendation Form.

 

For theses:

  • Search Summon
  • Search the research repository of the author's home institution  

 

For journal articles:

  • Search Summon
  • Search for the journal by title in the E Journal Portal
  • Search Google Scholar

 

If you still cannot access the required item you will need to submit a Resource Access Request form.

  • Select your user type
  • Include full citation details for the item required
  • Select the appropriate copyright declaration and provide details of your name and School.
