Borrowing Items

Higher Degree Research students can borrow up to 100 books from the library. If you need to have the lending limit increased please contact us at library.info@anu.edu.au or use the Ask a librarian form.

If the ANU Library does not have the item you need, students may request and borrow resources from other libraries.

A bulk of the ANU Library collections are stored in off-site storage at the ANU Print Repository. Items requested from the repository will be delivered to the Chifley Library reserve shelves.

Returning Items

You can return items via the return chute at any ANU Library branch. Return chutes are marked for general or short loan returns.

You can renew items you have on loan on the ANU Library website My Library Record page. This is a great way to avoid fines for late returns!
