Many of these journals were cancelled by at least one of the three participating Universities in 1998. The service will be fully reviewed again at the end of 2001. The supply cost of articles is borne by the 3 University Libraries. The system will block requests for articles owned by the requestor's home University library, or requests for articles already previously by that person. After requests are received by a supplying library, requested articles will be sent directly to the requestor.
Delivery can be via fax, or post.
Requestors will be notified by email, once the article has been despatched to them. Articles will be despatched from a supplying library within 2 working days of having received the request, where the article is available. The registration process, apart from facilitating validation of users by library staff, includes a Copyright Declaration agreement. This Copyright Declaration agreement need only be completed and signed once. All requests for supply of journal articles must abide by the Australian Copyright Regulations .
