Resource Sharing

Suspension of ILL Loan Requests via LADD 

The National Library of Australia is currently upgrading the national Document Delivery system. As a result, we have ceased processing all interlibrary loan (ILL) requests via LADD, and renewals will not be granted for existing loans during this period. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

The University of Adelaide can supply a loan or copy of most print items from its collections to other libraries registered through Libraries Australia and overseas libraries.
