  • Making a request

    We accept loan and copy requests from libraries and commercial and government organisations within Australia and internationally. Most of the material held by The University of Melbourne Library can be requested, and often, 'not-for-loan' material can be copied on your behalf.

    Requests for loans and copies from Australian and overseas libraries can be made via the following methods:

    1. Libraries Australia Document Delivery (LADD)
    2. OCLC WorldWorldShare Interlibrary Loan
    3. University of Melbourne direct request form (Only for registered libraries not participating in LADD or OCLC WorldShare).

    Register with us

    All requests must comply with the Australian Copyright Act of 1968. If you require a copy of any material the University holds, please include this copyright statement on your request: "This request complies with S50 of the Copyright Act, 1968."

  • University of Melbourne theses

    We do not supply theses via inter-library loan. However, you can use open access theses or request a digitised copy of a hard copy thesis.

    The best way to work out how to access a thesis is to check our online catalogue. When you find a title, you can connect to the record in our institutional repository by clicking the 'Access via University of Melbourne Minerva Access' link.

    Access depends on the permission specified by the author. The level of access is indicated in the thesis record's 'Access Status' field. The standard access messages are:

    • Open access - access to the full text of this thesis is available online.
    • Only available to University of Melbourne staff and students - access to the full text of theses is only available to the University of Melbourne staff and students.
    • No attached file is available - access to the full text of this thesis is restricted. It can be viewed read-only in the Baillieu Reading Room on a specified device under staff supervision.

    If you wish to view a thesis in the Baillieu Reading Room, click the yellow icon on the right-hand side of the catalogue record to submit a request.

    If there is no public access version available, you can request a digitised copy free of charge.
