• Books: A reasonable amount, being one chapter or 10% of the number of pages (whichever amount is greater).

You may request and be supplied with more than a reasonable amount if the book is commercially unavailable. A commercial availability check will be carried out by the library prior to supplying a digitised copy.

UNE print theses are not available for physical loan. The UNE library may be able to copy and supply an entire print thesis for the purpose of research or study under section 51(2) of the Copyright Act 1968.

The UNE Library will not provide access to UNE theses under section 51(2) of the Copyright Act 1968 until the period of restriction (if approved) has finished, or 3 years after degree conferral, whichever comes first. Further access conditions may apply and restrict the supply of a digitised thesis, such as if the thesis includes culturally sensitive information.

Some more recent UNE theses are already electronically available via the university’s repository, RUNE.
