Services for off campus students

Online Murdoch students

As an online student at Murdoch University, use the following services when studying externally:

• Library Search  
• My Unit Readings

Whether you prefer to use Library Search, Google Scholar, or databases to find articles and books for your study, you will need to sign in with your Murdoch ID to ensure you get full-text access where its available. Find out how you can access articles and books when off campus.

Online Honours, Masters or Doctoral students living outside the metropolitan Perth area can have print items from our collection sent by post. You are responsible for return postage costs. There are a few exclusions to this service, including High Demand, Special Collections and Relaxing Reads items.

If you are able to visit one of our libraries in person, you can borrow from our print collection, including High Demand, Special Collections and Relaxing Reads - check borrowing limits or request a Murdoch Student card.
