Whether or not your point about Murdoch people is true or not, I don't
believe that the library normally provides "technical support" to the
items it loans out.  For example, if there's something in that book on
elemental particle physics you don't quite follow, the library isn't in
any way obliged to explain it to you simply because you borrowed it from
them.
