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.
