CQUniversity continues to closely monitor the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and will ensure that we take the most appropriate action based on advice from relevant government departments and health authorities. Below is important information regarding changes to CQUni Library services.
All CQUni campus libraries remain open if the campus is open, however some libraries are now unstaffed. For up to date information about your local campus library, view the opening hours pages.
If you choose to visit Library spaces at this time, please apply the recommended hygiene and social distancing measures we have implemented to adhere to government guidance to help limit the spread of any illness:
We are here and happy to help with any Library and research related questions. You can contact us:
Can I still borrow items from the Library in person?
Yes, all campus book collections except Sydney remain open for in-person browsing and/or borrowing. Melbourne's book collection is currently open on Tuesdays.
For students & staff on the Melbourne and Sydney campuses, you can request items online to be sent to your preferred address. We may not be able to fulfill all requests, and will let you know if there are any issues.
Can I still borrow items from the Library and have them posted to me?
Yes, you can still request items online and have them posted to your preferred address.
Can I still return items to the Library?
Yes, you can still either return items in person or post them back to us as usual.
What if I can’t return an item on time?
If an item you have on loan is required to be returned you will receive an email to your CQUni student email account. Reply to this email with the reason why you are unable to return your library item and we will work with you on a solution.
Why is an item I returned still on my library card online record?
To reduce the potential risk of spreading of COVID-19, when an item is returned we are placing it in quarantine so it may take a little longer to check in off your library account.
