Students formally enrolled in a course offered through distance education by the University of Wollongong can use off-campus Library services.
Students living in metropolitan areas with access to a local university library are encouraged to use the reciprocal borrowing arrangements available to them.
If you live in the local 02 42 telephone code area, you will be expected to use the Wollongong Campus Library in person for the borrowing and return of materials.
If you live outside a metropolitan area, or do not have access to a local university library collection, Library materials will be mailed to you but you will be responsible for the return postage.
Borrowing conditions are determined by your user category.
Borrowed items may be renewed, provided that they have not been requested by other borrowers.
Items must renewed on or before the due date.
Renewals can be made by contacting the Loans Desk on 02 4221 3545, or you can renew items yourself using the View your borrowing record function on the Library Catalogue.
Journals or serials are not for loan. Free copies of requested articles may be copied and sent to you, providing this does not contravene the copyright regulations.
Making requests (for books, audiovisual items and photocopies of journal articles)
If you have a UOW ID card - place requests for items held within the University of Wollongong Library AND for materials available elsewhere through our electronic document delivery service. (Write 'Off Campus' in the Additional Information field on each request form.)
