LIDDAS - Charges

Charges for Requesting Material from Other Libraries

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

We are currently trialling not passing on charges for document delivery for most requests.  However, requests for theses, costly items, or large numbers of requests will require payment, and will be referred back to the requestor.
You do not need to supply account details on registration.
Document delivery staff will contact you to arrange payment if required.

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. Requests from overseas libraries and suppliers may incur additional charges.
