The Te Tumu Herenga | Libraries and Learning Services interloan system, Rapido, aims to provide seamless, simplified access to available collections and resources from other libraries and institutions around the world.
How do I search for items?
Simply search the Library Catalogue.
If the item is not within our collection, you will be prompted to “expand your search” to view further items/resources available for you to request
See how to use our interloan system with this video: Get started with Interlibrary Loans.
How do I request items?
- If the item you are looking for is discovered, you can select “get it from other libraries” to view an expected delivery time for your item.
- If your item is not discovered within the expanded search, our friendly interloan team are able to action a further search on your behalf.
- To expedite this search please provide us with as much citation detail as possible when completing the request form.
- In both instances, once the copyright is accepted, a notification will state that your request has been accepted, meaning it is now in progress.
(Please note: If your library account is blocked you will not be offered any options to request items by interloan).
How do I know what is happening to my request?
The status of your accepted request will be visible from within your library account, providing you with up-to-date information on the progression of your interloan request.
How are items delivered to me?
- Physical items will be issued to your library account and available for pickup from the library help desk you chose in your request.
- Digital items will be delivered via email.
- There is no change in delivery methods if you are eligible for the Click and Deliver service.
How do I return items delivered to me?
Return physical items via the return slots at any of our libraries.
