The Australia-wide network of libraries that participate in resource sharing is transitioning to a new system for managing requests. While the new system is being implemented, many libraries are minimising the number of physical loan requests that they supply. The new system is expected to go live in July, 2025. Until then, the library team may have difficulty finding a library in Australia to supply a physical loan. We do not expect any impact on the supply of digital copies for book chapters, journal articles, etc.

We will contact you via email if we experience issues with supplying your request and suggest alternative options, such as:

• submitting the request again in July when the new system is live
• changing your physical item request to a digital chapter request
