Information on borrowing from the Library for all research and coursework postgraduate students.

Library / ID cards

Your student identification card is also your library card and will be issued upon payment of fees.

Please remember to carry your card at all times if you wish to borrow. Report lost cards to the Loans Desk staff immediately to prevent unauthorised use.

Student replacement cards must be obtained from the Student Hubs at the Callaghan, Ourimbah or City Campuses.

What you can borrow

All loans are subject to recall and must be returned when requested. Failure to return recalled material may result in the loss of borrowing privileges.
