Membership
Library services are available to all current South Regional TAFE staff. Your staff ID card is also your library membership card. It is valid for the duration of employment.
Libraries are located at the Bunbury and Albany campuses. Staff at other regional campuses can use SuperSearch to locate items at the Bunbury and Albany libraries and request them by contacting the Library.
Library membership is not transferrable. To use services, always have your staff ID with you. Remember you are responsible for all the library items you borrow.
How many items can I borrow and for how long?
You can generally borrow up to 15 items at a time for 3 weeks.
Can I reserve an item?
Yes, for most items. Contact the Library with item details and they will place a hold on for when it is returned. We will contact you so that you can collect the item.
What happens if I don't return items on time?
Borrowed items should be returned on or before the due date. If your loans become overdue, you will receive an overdue notice via text message or email. If you do not respond, you risk losing your borrowing rights, being invoiced for replacement costs or not receiving your study results.
Unpaid invoices are referred to a debt collection agency.
Can I renew loans?
Yes, most loans can be renewed provided they are not overdue or required by another borrower. Contact the Library Staff to arrange.
Do I have reciprocal borrowing rights with other libraries?
South Regional TAFE staff are entitled to borrow resources from other WA TAFE Libraries, Curtin, Edith Cowan, Murdoch and Notre Dame universities libraries.
You must have a letter of introduction signed by the Librarian before you contact another library. Each library has its own borrowing conditions with which you need to comply.
Printing and copying are done via a multi-function device (MFD). You may print or copy in black & white, as well as scan. You need your manager's permission to print in colour.

STAFF ID CARDS
All employed staff are entitled to a South Regional TAFE Staff ID card. It can be obtained from the Albany or Bunbury Campus Library. Staff at Regional Campuses can order and collect their card at Campus Reception.
Your Staff ID card is also your Library card. It should be presented to Library staff when you want to borrow items from the Library.
How do I get a staff ID card?
To obtain a Staff ID Card, ask Library staff. You need to bring some form of identification such as a Driver's Licence, or Passport, as well as your Staff ID number. We are unable to look it up.
What if I lose my staff ID card?
You can get a replacement card from the Albany or Bunbury Campus Libraries. Charges may apply for replacement cards.
