Document delivery

Requesting items from other libraries

The Document Delivery Service allows Flinders staff and students to place requests for materials not held by Flinders Library. Requests can be made for the loan of items like books or DVDs, or copies of a section of work, like a journal article or book chapter.

To place a request:

1. Login to findit@flinders via Okta.
2. Search for the item you need. If not found in the Flinders Library catalogue, select include items from other libraries at the top of the search results.
3. Find the record you need and select Get it for me from other libraries to view your requesting options. Inside the item’s record, review your available offers and select Get it under your desired offer.
4. If the item you need still cannot be found in this expanded library search, select the blank request form link at the top of the search results and fill in as much detail as possible.

All requests can be viewed, tracked, and copies downloaded from My Library Card in findit@flinders. Loans are collected from the holds shelf at your requested pickup location and will need to be checked out using the self-check machine or by visiting the Information Desk during staffed hours. If you are eligible for the SendIt Service, your loan will be automatically lent out to your account and posted to your address.

Requests submitted for items already held by Flinders Library or which do not comply with s49 of the Australian Copyright Act will be cancelled.
