As a member of the Library, you can borrow or request items from our collections at any of our libraries. Renew your items online using My Library. If an item you have on loan is requested by someone else, you'll get a recall notification via email.

Use your staff, student or library card to borrow from the Library. We have self check machines at the Geoffrey Bolton Library and in the Veterinary Library, or take your items and card to the help desk.

Return your loans to any of our libraries, regardless of where you borrowed them from. Ensure you return due or recalled items on time to avoid fines. High Demand collection loans must be returned to the library they were borrowed from.

What can I borrow and for how long?

Murdoch Undergraduate and Graduate Diploma students

Murdoch staff, postgraduate, masters and honours students

All other library members (includes MIT students, Alumni, Community members)

High Demand Collection - Overnight loans

You can borrow most High Demand collection items overnight. See Library staff to book an item for overnight loan.

Renewing your loans

If you are a Murdoch University student or staff member, we will automatically renew your loans two times. If you need items for longer, you can renew them a further three times using My Library or at the self check machines in the Library.

High Demand loans can only be renewed once. Log in to My Library or use the self check machines to renew High Demand items.

BONUS+ loans will be automatically renewed two times unless another user has requested the item.

Fines may be applied if items are not returned or renewed by the due date.

Requests & Recalls

You can request items which are already on loan or are available at another Murdoch campus library. Use Library Search or the Library Catalogue. We will email you when the item is ready for collection at your preferred pickup location.

Similarly, items you have borrowed may be requested by someone else. You'll get a recall notification via email and have 7 days to return the item.
