Interlibrary Loans (ILL) - Theses & Dissertations
The CSU Library has an archival collection of all CSU theses and some dissertations. This collection is kept at the campus library where the study was undertaken. Items from the collection are not available for loan but may be used in the library where they are located. Arrangements can generally be made to transfer theses between libraries for short periods to enable in-person access.
The Library also has a number of theses from other institutions and some duplicate copies of CSU theses. These are part of the main library collection and are available for loan in the normal manner.
All CSU theses and dissertations held by the Library are listed in Primo Search and can be located using a Subject search on Charles Sturt University--dissertation.
Copies of all or part of a CSU thesis or dissertation may be obtained in either a print or electronic format by following the appropriate option below. Charges apply for all copying done by the Library, and may vary according to the amount of copying done and the format selected.
