If it is decided not to purchase, an alternative is to apply for an Interloan from another library. We encourage you to make the suggestion via the Library Catalogue, but you are also welcome to do this by phone, in person or email to Suggest a Purchase. |
My Saved ListMy Saved List enables you to compile a list of records from the Library Catalogue. You can then use this list for a number of purposes, including: emailing details of the saved records, downloading details, placing reserves. Please note that My Saved List works best from your own PC. Use it for your current search only. In the libraries the Catalogues all share the same logins, therefore you may find others have used My Saved List without clearing the results.
