How to borrow

• Take the books or other loan items to a self service machine. Follow the directions on the machine.
• If you are borrowing DVDs, audio or video cassettes, take them to the service desk.
• You will need a current Swinburne identity card to borrow. This acts as your library card. If you are from another University or TAFE, you will need a current identity card from your University or TAFE together with a reciprocal borrower card.
• If you have difficulty using the self service machine, go to the service desk for assistance.

Renewals

You can renew your loans by:

• using the library catalogue.
• using the self-service unit in any campus library
• calling 9214 8330
• coming in to any campus library service desk

Holds and inter-campus requests

You can use the library catalogue to place a hold on:

• an item that is out on loan
• an item that is located at another campus
