Other libraries in Tasmania
Some societies, private companies and many commonwealth, state and local government organisations in Tasmania have their own libraries. Resources from most of the listed libraries are available on Document Delivery and usually this is the preferred method of accessing those resources. The extent to which these libraries may provide assistance to UTAS staff and students varies, though most are willing to try. The list of libraries is not comprehensive but it outlines some of the known access constraints.
