Purchase requests
Library purchases are made annually for the next calendar year. We consider additional requests when these support the research, learning and teaching needs of the UNE community.
Priority is given to items published in the last 3 years, and those available electronically under the least restrictive access terms.
Electronic resources can usually be made available within 5–7 days. Physical items can take 6–10 weeks, or longer.
When submitting a Purchase Request, please include:
- whether the request is for teaching; and
- any relevant Unit Code.
Resource Sharing is usually the fastest way to meet your personal research needs. Individual articles and book chapters are typically delivered within 48 hours.
Students are expected to purchase prescribed material for their subjects as indicated in the Course Unit guidelines. Recommended material may be held in the University Library and student purchase is optional. Please make sure your unit information in the handbook is up to date. If you need to discuss this further, please contact us. Our streaming video content is often licenced for a limited time and may need to be renewed each year. If you are using these videos in your teaching, please let us know before the Trimester starts.
