We understand that NSLS is not for everyone.
If you are intrigued by it's potential for thoroughness and efficiency, comfortable with or ready to make the change to electronic commerce and you are able to change long established habits (your own or others) then we would love to hear from you. Just fill in the details on the contact page and one of our friendly staff will get back to you.

NSLS is designed to give you maximum selection opportunity with as little time as possible. An hour a month will allow you to see most upcoming titles and with regular use you will rarely find a title that you have missed. It also allows you the freedom to use when you want to and to return to where you where at if other activities (students, staff etc) need your attention.

NSLS provides as much information as possible including annotations, bibliographic detail and jacket covers. This is more than you will find in most catalogues.

NSLS costs you nothing to join. However in order to gain the benefits of what we have to offer (and enable us to keep offering them) we suggest that you are using us regularly as a major supplier of materials. NSLS offers attractive discounts and free freight in Australia.

NSLS specialises in pre publication. Most of what you order aren't due for release until a couple of months later. NSLS will supply them to you ASAP – usually no more than two weeks from their release. As we don't keep stock on hand, we are dependant on publishers when ordering from our back list. We pride ourselves on fast, efficient and quality service.

NSLS is firm sale. Our customers find that that our information is more than enough to make a sound decision and on the odd occasion where a bad choice is made the savings in time more than account for it.

NSLS is easy to use and organised in the way librarian's think (genre for fiction and Dewey for non-fiction). Our friendly staff are only a quick phone call away to assist you with any queries if they arise.

NSLS allows you the luxury of being able to operate from any computer with internet access – including home. Being able to access a large number of books at one point helps to overcome the expected slowness of some systems.

Whilst NSLS specialises in pre publication titles we do keep an archive. This enables you to order books that may have become damaged, lost or simply want to add to your collection. If you cannot find it, we also include opportunity to order from your own information.
