FAQs
Why can't I access the full text?
Our catalogue provides access to full-text material that is publicly available. However, because of the requirements of copyright, we can provide a link to the abstract of subscription-based material. The link will take you to the full text only if you have a subscription.
How do I get a copy of the full text if I don't have a subscription?
You can contact your nearest library and arrange for an inter-library loan.

Inter-library loans
If you do not have access to the full text of an article, you may be able to obtain it through an inter-library loan. Contact your nearest library to find out how, or look at the 'Libraries Australia' website.
Ask a librarian
If you have questions about our catalogue or how to find particular resources, ask a librarian. Email the NCHSR Librarian or the UNSW reference team.
