In exceptional circumstances, faxed or email rush requests will be accepted and they must be accompanied by prepayment with a credit card. We accept Visa or MasterCard.
Overseas libraries may request from us by fax, Ariel, email and post. We accept IFLA Vouchers as payment from overseas requesters.
