The Interlibrary Loans and Document Supply service provides access to material not held in JCU libraries. Items which can be obtained from Australian or overseas libraries include books, journal articles, theses, conference proceedings and reports. Many libraries will not lend theses but offer them for purchase as a PDF.
- JCU staff and postgraduate students (Select Library Allocation as payment type for Core service only)
- JCU undergraduate students (private payment required)
- JCU Singapore and JCU Brisbane students please contact your Library or Resource Centre directly
- Community borrowers and Adjuncts (private payment required)
Please check One Search carefully to ensure the required item is not already held or, in the case of articles or chapters, available from another library through our resource sharing service (see instructions for Requesting Items through One Search).
For other items (e.g. Books, Proceedings) submit a Document Delivery Request Form. Include as much detail as possible on the form and, where possible, the source of reference should be indicated. Incomplete request details require further checking by library staff and may therefore result in delays in forwarding the request.
If you are making a private payment please contact Document Supply staff for instructions.
The Copyright Act must be observed when requesting photocopies or microforms. The Act permits copying of a "reasonable portion" of a book or journal for the purposes of research or study. A "reasonable portion" is defined for books as 10% or one chapter and for journals as one article per issue. More than one article is allowable only if the articles relate to the same subject matter. Requests for photocopies must be signed by the user of the material. Electronic requests require agreement with the Copyright Declaration upon submission. See Copyright at JCU for further information.
Requests through our Resource Sharing service in One Search typically take 24 to 48 hours to deliver a scanned article or chapter to you.
Requests to Australian libraries are normally filled within 1-2 weeks. Delays may occur if the required item is missing or on loan. Overseas requests take a much longer period. Special services are offered for material required more urgently. These incur extra charges.
Scans are forwarded to the requester's JCU email account. Requesters are notified by email of the arrival of loan material which may then be collected from the Client Services desk at either the Mabo or Cairns Library. Some loans may be required to be used in the library only. The loan period varies and the due date is indicated on the blue slip inside the book. Please return loans to Client Services staff and not through the Express Lending units. Fines and penalties will apply if an item is lost, damaged or overdue.
Service | Copy | Loan | Delivery Time |
Core Service | $18.50 | $28.50 | * 4 working days from sent date |
Rush Service | $37.00 | Not available | * Within 48 hrs for copies |
*Delivery times cannot be guaranteed as they are dependent upon a number of factors outside the library's control. These include location of the supplier, availability of the material and the time spent in transit. They can also depend on the accuracy of the details provided within the request.
If you are making a private payment please contact Document Supply staff.
Current JCU staff and students are exempt from paying GST on the above charges.
Digital copy - as charged by supplier
Loan - as charged by supplier plus return postage
Theses purchase - as charged by supplier
If requests are to be charged to a University charge code, full details of the account number should be recorded on the request. If you are a Post Graduate student you will need to ask your supervisor to confirm your eligibility with Document Supply staff prior to submitting a request.
If you are making a private payment please contact Document Supply staff.
Please contact Document Supply Service staff for further assistance or information.
