Borrowing from other libraries

Need access to items not held by UniSQ Library?

In addition to the Non-UniSQ Library item request service, UniSQ students and staff may also borrow in person at other Australian university libraries. 

UniSQ students and staff can apply to borrow in person from other university libraries in Australia in accordance with the University Libraries of Australia and New Zealand (ULANZ) reciprocal borrowing agreement. Borrowing conditions are dependent upon the host library.

View the ULANZ borrower information to see if your local university library is a participating member and click on the ULANZ link for that university to see their borrowing conditions and services.

The catalogues of Australian libraries can be accessed online.

UniSQ staff, postgraduate, and research students can also place requests for loans from another library or organisation.

How do I join?

You must be currently enrolled in courses.

Join in person at the library of your choice with:

  • photo ID (e.g. driver's license or Student ID Card)
  • proof of your enrolment (e.g. a UConnect printout of your current semester's enrolment. Student ID may not be accepted)
  • your login details for UConnect

Some libraries may charge a joining fee, and restrictions may apply on what you can access and the number of items you may borrow.

Membership is valid up to 28 February of the following year and you must re-join each year.

For assistance in joining another university library please email library@unisq.edu.au.

If you live overseas and wish to join a Library in your surrounding area, we encourage you to approach them to find out if you are eligible for membership. 

We can provide Letters of Introduction if this is a requirement of the local Library.

Email library@unisq.edu.au to request a Letter of Introduction.
