Borrowing from other libraries
Federation University staff and students can register to borrow from other academic libraries. If you are a student at a Federation University partner-provider institution, you can contact us or your home library for information about borrowing from other libraries.
Just keep in mind, having overdue items at another institution's library may affect your ability to borrow at Federation University Library.
Eligible Federation postgraduate students and staff can also request access to materials held by other libraries in Australia or overseas using the Resource Sharing service.
