Borrowing from other libraries

OUA students are not eligible for the CAVAL Reciprocal Borrowing Program. However, you are welcome to visit any tertiary library and use its facilities and resources on campus. You may also wish to inquire about registering as a community borrower, which generally incurs a fee.

Subject Starter Guides recommend key databases, journals and websites for each area of study at Swinburne. They are good starting points for finding information in your subject.
