NEW - PALS student guide: Borrow

My Library

Your Student ID card is your library card to borrow physical items. To access and borrow electronic resources you will use your student number or email to log into the platform where it is hosted. Physical library items can be borrowed via the self-check machines or by visiting the Service Zones at your campus library. You will need to log in with your student details to request and renew items and access Course Readings.

Borrowing Tips

  • If there is an item that you do not have access to through the library, you can request to borrow from another library.
