Dental Health Services Library: How to Borrow

Sink your teeth into your Library: use the library to access a wealth of resources and services to assist you in your daily work straight from your desktop.

Borrowing privileges


Staff are able to borrow items from the Dental Health Services library in person, by telephone, written memo, email or by completing a item request form.  All items can be posted to anywhere in Western Australia; a return courier service applies for all 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.  
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.
A library stock take is conducted over the School Service shut down.
