Dental Health Services Library: How to Borrow

Staff are able to borrow items from the Dental Health Services library in person, by telephone, written memo, fax, email or by completing a resource request form.  All items can be posted to anywhere in Western Australia; a return courier service applies for country patrons.

For all patrons there is a lending policy that relates to the number of items that may be borrowed and the maximum borrowing time.  The full policy can be accessed from the "Library Borrowing Policy" box on the right.
Items leave the library in excellent condition, and it is expected that they return in an equally excellent condition. Persons who return items late, damaged or lose any item will be charged for its replacement/repair accordingly.
All items are to be returned to the library early December, to enable a library stock take to be conducted over the School Service shut down.
