This may impact Murdoch student requests to borrow books from other libraries in the following ways: 

  1. Print book requests may be declined, if the only source is within the Eastern States.
  2. Loan periods for print books may be significantly reduced.
  3. There will be a strict return deadline for print books, and renewals will not be available. 

The Library Team will advise you if your request to borrow a book from another library is impacted. Requests for digital copies of book chapters or journal articles will not be affected.
