Document Delivery

This guide covers what document delivery is and how to request resources through the service.

Search the Discovery catalogue

Start your search here!

Discovery includes both physical and online resources in many formats including books and book chapters, journals and journal articles, conference papers, newspaper articles and more.

Search the library's Discovery catalogue by entering the title of the resource you're looking for.

Basic and advanced searching instructions and additional information to help you navigate Discovery are available in our Discovery Guide.

You can find many resources in Discovery but we don't hold all of them. If you can't locate the resource you need in Discovery, request it via Document Delivery.

What can I request?

Our physical and electronic resources are available to all staff. We can also request resources from other Australian libraries when they are not held at CSIRO.

Requests must support the work being done at CSIRO; personal requests are not supported.

Access to indigenous content is provided in line with Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP).
