Q. How do I request an article not held by the SA Health Library Service?
Answer
- Navigate to the library homepage.
- Locate the catalogue search box:

- On the drop-down menu to the left of the search field, select ‘Title’ (circled):
- Enter the title of your article into the search field and click 'Search':
- If the library does not hold this article, you will see an on-screen message advising this. Click the ‘libraries worldwide’ link in the message:
- You will be taken to a search results page. Click on the title of your article:
- You will be taken to the detailed record. Locate and click the ‘Unavailable through SALUS’ button:
- This button will open the interlibrary loan login page. Log in with your library username (library password not required):
- A pre-filled request form for your article will load. Check that the details are correct (especially the email address you want the article to go to) and click ‘Request’ at the bottom of the page:
- A Library staff member will now search for your requested article at other institutions and liaise with you via email regarding the outcome of your request.
