Why do I have to sign up for off-campus document delivery?
To enable delivery of documents to your off-campus location and to collect the fees involved, a record of your contact details is required.
As a signed-up off-campus student you will also have special lending privileges.
Who may sign up for off-campus document delivery?
- students of the Telematic Services Division;
- undergraduate and postgraduate students (registered and prospective) who do not live on campus and who are prepared to pay for the delivery of books and documents to them.
Are documents delivered to a location abroad?
No books of the Library and Information Service will be mailed abroad. Pages from books can, however, be scanned (within the limits of the copyright law) and e-mailed to signed-up off-campus students living abroad.
What if I still need access to other libraries?
What other services are available to signed-up off-campus students?
All other services as explained in the
