Interlibrary loan service team – Who are you?

The CSU Library Interlibrary loan (ILL) service team attempt to locate and supply items, not held by CSU Library from other Australian or International libraries or commercial document suppliers for CSU staff and students.

How to make an ILL Request 

To place an Interlibrary loan request, search Primo Search for the book, journal article or item you require. If the item is not held by CSU, click on the ILL Request link (top right of the screen) and complete the online form with as much detail as you can. Remember to check the Copyright declaration box and submit the form.

You don’t even need to know which other library holds a copy of the item as the ILL team will do that for you!

To check on the progress of your request, simply log in to Primo Search and follow your request in My Library Record.

Once the item arrives it will be processed and forwarded to you by email/mail or you will receive an email to say it is ready for collection from the Ask us! desk at your campus library.

If you have incurred any charges these will be added to your university account when the item is received and processed by CSU ILL staff.

To return the item, simply return or post it back to a CSU campus library by the due date.
