Ordering new resources
How to order new resources (items not held by the Library):
Via Subject Readings
If you use Subject Readings, add the citation details to your reading list. When you submit your list, the Library will recognise citations not in our collection. For ebooks/books we'll aim to purchase it, for articles/book chapters we'll source a copy via Document Delivery. For support creating a reading list and adding resources, see the subject readings guide for staff.
Via Library SEARCH
Search for the resource in Library SEARCH. Ensure you select 'Show results outside UOW Library'. Click the item's title. Under 'How to get it', complete the Purchase Request form.
If you would like a copy of a book chapter or journal article we don't hold, please see our Document Delivery page.
