We are able to obtain books from other universities through inter-library loans. As there is a charge to the library for each book, please choose carefully. You can search for interlibrary loans through Libraries Australia (Trove).
Ask Lee Allen (leea@ggs.vic.edu.au) in the Fisher Library if you wish to order an inter-library loan.
