Some restrictions and/or charges apply to requests for material held in other university libraries in Melbourne, and to all requests by undergraduate and TAFE students.

Access to Swinburne theses
Doctoral and Masters-by-research theses
Some Swinburne Doctoral and Masters-by-research theses are freely available online through the Australian Digital Theses (ADT) program. The number of theses available online is expected to increase significantly during 2005-2006.
Doctoral and Masters-by-research theses that are not online may be supplied to individuals, libraries or other organisations on CD-ROM (PDF) or as unbound printed copies under the same conditions as copies of journal articles.
Original printed theses are not available for loan, except where no electronic file is available, when a printed thesis may be loaned only to another library.
Coursework theses (e.g. MBA, Grad.Dip.)
are available for loan under the same conditions as books in the general library collection.
