LIDDAS - Charges

Charges for Requesting Material from Other Libraries

These charges are for Murdoch University staff and students requesting documents from other libraries. Charges for other libraries and individuals requesting material from Murdoch's collection are provided at Document Delivery Services for Other Libraries.

Note Murdoch staff and postgraduate students may request journal articles and book chapters from Murdoch’s collection for $6 per document.

LIDDAS requests material from the cheapest and fastest suppliers first. This may not be the library you have identified as holding the item.

The cost of a loan or photocopy depends on the source of supply and on the service level requested. If you want to restrict the amount you wish to pay or pay more for a faster service, you must put the precise details in a note on each request.

Note: An additional 10% GST charge applies unless requests are debited against an internal School account fund.
