Borrowing from our libraries
As a member of the Library, you can borrow items from our collections at any of our libraries. Renew your items online using My Library. All Murdoch students and staff can use BONUS+ to request books we don't have.
Use your staff, student or library card to borrow from the Library. We have self check facilities located on North Wing Level 3 of 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. High Demand collection loans must be returned to the library they were borrowed from.
