- The requested item/s if available will be posted to the address you’ve indicated on the form or online. You will be advised if the item is not available.
- WideBay Institute libraries generally don’t keep multiple copies of recommended (i.e. prescribed) texts so cannot guarantee availability and items may be available on short term loan only.
- You will be expected to pay for return postage on borrowed items. If an item is damaged or not returned, replacement charges will be based on current recommended retail prices plus a processing fee per item.
- If you’re unable to locate the required item in our library catalogue, you may want to search TAFE Queensland catalogue linked from the WBIT catalogue. Contact Research & Information Centre staff for assistance in requesting loans from other Institutes.
