Further borrowing options

Can't find the book or article you need?

Don't worry! We have several options to help you access resources beyond our University collections.

  • Request through Inter-library Loan (ILL): If we don't own the resource you need, you can request it through our Inter-library Loan service. We'll source it from another library, and books will be delivered to the University of Melbourne Library for collection. Articles are usually sent to you electronically.
  • Search Australian Libraries via TROVE: Use TROVE to find copies of books and resources available in libraries across Australia.
  • Borrow from Other Victorian Universities (CAVAL Scheme): Get a CAVAL card to borrow books in person from other university libraries across Victoria. Just visit a participating library with your CAVAL card to access their collections.
  • Borrow from Interstate Libraries (ULANZ Scheme): If you live outside Victoria, the ULANZ borrowing scheme allows you to borrow from participating university libraries in Australia and New Zealand. Simply register at the university library you wish to borrow from.
  • Suggest a Purchase: Would you like us to consider adding a book to our collection? Submit a request using the Orders Request form.
