What may be obtained?

Making a Request

Most films and videos are borrowed from ScreenSound Australia in Canberra. These items have freight recovery and handling charges. The charges for a film are $36.50 and for a video $20.00. Films and videos obtained from other sources may incur additional hire charges.Payment
Full details of the university account number should be recorded on the request form.
