Please note that you are responsible for the safe return of all items borrowed on your card.
Students studying off-campus have special loan provisions - contact the Library for more details.
Students enrolled in commercial courses are welcome to use library materials, however, have restricted borrowing rights. Please see library staff to see what you're allowed to borrow.
If the item you want is on loan to another borrower, you may request that we hold the item for you when it is returned.
Speak to Library Staff if you want to place a request.
When placing a Request, select the most convenient pick-up campus. We will contact you when the item is ready to collect
Most items may be renewed once, providing they are not overdue or required by other borrowers. This may be done in person, by telephone, or via Supersearch.
Loans cannot be renewed if:
If you keep an item beyond the due date, you will receive a reminder from the Library. Library members with overdue items cannot borrow until all overdue items are returned.
If an item is not returned within a reasonable time, you will receive an invoice for the replacement cost. Library members with outstanding accounts will not be permitted to borrow any further items. Unpaid invoices are referred to a debt collection agency.
South Metropolitan TAFE students are entitled to borrow resources from other WA TAFE Libraries such as North Metropolitan TAFE, and also from Curtin and Edith Cowan Universities. Present your current South Metropolitan TAFE Student ID card and enrolment form at the other institution to gain reciprocal rights. The conditions of use will vary at each institution so check before you borrow.
