The Off-campus Service supplies ANU Library material to eligible ANU staff and students living across Australia and overseas. This includes books and other physical resources, copies of chapters, journal articles and other materials subject to copyright limits.

Materials from other libraries can be requested via the Document Supply request form for delivery within Australia, but physical resources can only be sent overseas with the permission of the lending library.

To authorise payment, add your department code or self (if paying personally) to the special instructions box on the applicable request form. Alternatively, you can leave the section blank for Library staff to quote costs before proceeding with the request. Payment is usually made on the receipt of the item.
