Borrowing and returning print books

Textbooks, class sets, and items on hold are available during our staffed hours (above).

The rest of the print collection is available whenever the library is accessible.

You can borrow books at the desk during our service hours, or by contacting TaSAC. You will need your student ID card to borrow.

You can return books using the return chute inside the library at the front desk, or next to the main entry doors. Please be aware it may take longer for books to be processed and removed from your library account, as we are quarantining items to ensure the safety of students and staff.

If you are unable to come to the campus due to Covid-19, you can request items only available in print via Library Search and have them delivered to your home address within Australia. Students will be provided a prepaid envelope to return the items. This service is free, courtesy of the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). You will also be provided additional loan days for transit time.
