Libraries on each of the three campuses provide learning
and information resources and services in support of
Swinburne's teaching and research programs.
The combined collections include over 200,000 books, 3,000
periodical titles, print and CD-ROM indexes and abstracts,
and a large collection of audio and video tapes, slides,
interactive videodiscs and computer software. All materials in
the collections are mailable for use in the libraries, and most
may be borrowed. Access to all collections is facilitated by a
shared online catalogue, and an inter-campus loan service.
The range of resources available is extended through
reciprocal borrowing arrangements with most other
university and TAFE libraries, and a number of networked
access arrangements to electronic databases.
Library staff work closely with teaching staff to develop
resources and help students to make best use of them.
Programs designed to develop students' information skills are
an integral part of most courses. Individual assistance is
provided at several service desks on each campus during the
extensive opening hours. A range of printed guides to
resources and services is also available.

welcome to read or use the facilities within the library
provided that they also accept the regulations. They may also
borrow from each library on payment of a membership fee
to the Swinburne Library Information Service.

staff member on the premises, may refuse entry to the
library to any person not registered as a borrower.

Borrowing
All material borrowed must be recorded at appropriate issue
points before the patron enters the security gate to leave the

transaction slip when it is borrowed. The borrower accepts
responsibility for the care of any item borrowed and for its
return in good condition on or before the due date. The
library reserves the right to recall any item on loan before
the expiration of the normal loan period.
Most library materials may be returned to any of the campus
libraries. Videocassettes must be returned to the campus
from which they were borrowed.
Identity cards
A current Swinburne identity card must be presented each
time an item is borrowed, otherwise service will be refused.
Cards are not transferable and lost identity cards must be
replaced immediately.
Borrowing periods
Students: the normal loan period for students is a fortnight.
This period may be extended for a further fortnight provided
that the item has not been reserved by another user and
that it is not overdue.
Staff: the normal loan period for staff members and higher
degree students for most library material is four weeks. This
period may be extended for a further four weeks provided
that the item has not been reserved by another user and
that it is not overdue.
Reserve collections
Most material in these collections may be borrowed for a
period of two hours for use within the library. A small
number of items are available for overnight loan.
