Distance students are eligible to have items from our collections sent via post (within Australia).

• Items can be sent to your home address, Westmead Hospital Library, to a Rural Clinical School or to another hospital library – whichever is most convenient for you.
• This excludes items from our short loan (previously 2 hour loan) collection and special items that cannot leave the library.
• The library will cover postage charges to send the item to you. However, it’s your responsibility to pay return postage charges.
• Standard borrowing conditions apply.

Place requests for Library owned items through Library Search. You should select Personal Delivery: Home address as a pickup location.

If you need an item which is not available from University of Sydney Library collections, you may be able to borrow it or request a digital chapter or article from a partner library. If an item you need is not available from University of Sydney library collections or a partner library, you can make a “Special request for an item not found” and we’ll do our best to access it for you.

Limits and conditions apply.
