COUNTRY OR INTERSTATE SERVICES
Are you living in the country or interstate and studying with the UCLT? We can help. The ATL are happy to post books or scan items of interest to you. All we ask is that you pay for the postage back. We can also provide you with personalised training.
Interstate UCLT students can place holds and borrow books from UD Hub Libraries in their State/Territory Library Brochure. All you need is proof of your enrolment, or official proof of ID eg your driver’s licence.
In SA, we have a reciprocal arrangement with Lohe Memorial Library and St Barnabas Library. You can place holds and borrow books from either library, but the items need to be picked up and returned directly to them.
Also, a postal service is not available from Hub Libraries. You will need to pick up the book and return it to the given Library.
