Introduction to the Library

Borrowing and requesting items

Use your UniSQ student ID card, or photo identification, to borrow items in-person at our campus libraries.

Use the loan option in Library Search to either request an item for pick up at your preferred campus library or to have the book posted to your home address (onshore within Australia) at no cost.

MyLibrary login

You can request a scan of up to one chapter or 10% from a print library book and we will email the PDF file to you. To request a scan:

Library items

Returning library items

Return items to any campus library via the returns chutes. Return postage bags are included with home delivery parcels funded by your Student Services and Amenities fee (up to 10 per semester). Items only need to be posted by the due date.

Renewing library items

Your loan will automatically renew if no one else has requested that item. However, you may occasionally be asked to return items before the new due date to give other students a chance to use them. Other items that cannot be renewed include:

• Course texts (also called 3 hour loans)
• Inter-library loans

All library receipts and notices are sent to your Umail account so make sure you check it regularly. 

Non-UniSQ item requests

The Library may be able to obtain articles, books chapters or interlibrary loans of items not held by UniSQ Library, upon request.
