Interlibrary loan guide
We anticipate integration with libraries Australia-wide in future.
In the meantime, if you are unable to find the item you are after via LLV3, you can request it here by logging in with your library card number and password, clicking on "Create request", and manually providing details of the item.
Alternatively, please contact ill@melbourne.vic.gov.au for assistance.
Using LLV3 to request an interlibrary loan (ILL)
Search for an interlibrary loan via our ILL page, or by directly accessing LLV3. When you have located the item you are after, click “ILL request”:
- Search for and select “City of Melbourne Libraries” as your library service.
- Login with your library card number and password.
- The form will autofill the details of your request - simply select your pick-up location and click “Submit request”.
Provided you have an email address linked to your library account, you will receive email confirmation of your ILL request.
You can also login to your LLV3 account here to view the progress of your request.
When the item is available for you to collect, you will receive a notification as per your standard preference for library reservation notifications.
