Borrowing

- Put a hold on up to 2 items at a time.
- Short loan collection items are restricted to University students and staff.
Online resources
You can access most of our online resources through public access computers located in some libraries. Due to licensing restrictions, some items are only available for current University of Sydney students and staff. There is limited access to public computers, so availability cannot be guaranteed.
