Borrowing at Other University Libraries

The Australia university libraries have an agreement in place called University Libraries Australia (ULA) which enables university staff and students to visit libraries other than their home library and borrow materials from the collections.

To date, this scheme has not applied universally for University of Notre Dame staff and students but recently that has changed, most notably in Western Australia, where staff and students have access to both UWA and Curtin University.

Each library determines what you can borrow and for how long. These conditions are on the websites for these libraries and is likely to be listed under 'reciprocal borrowing'. You will find that these libraries may provide some limited access to electronic resources such as databases, eJournals and ebooks at the libraries, but they do not provide off-campus access to these services due to licence restrictions.

Before visiting another university library please check our website for information about how to access services. In WA you need to register online before you visit the library you wish to borrow from. In NSW you will find that you may need to pay a registration fee to borrow.

Any item borrowed from these other libraries is subject to fines and charges if it is not returned on time, damaged or lost. Borrowers will be held liable for these costs.
