Borrowing
We have two loan options:
- Annual Loans
- 4 Week Loans
- Where possible, we will issue annual loans. If an item is requested by another staff member, we will ask for the item back.
- Journal articles and reports will be scanned and emailed.
- Books will be posted by Australia Post and supplied with a return pre-paid envelope.
- Some items are not available for loan, like rare items, reference and departmental publications.

Annual Renewals Process
Scheduled for late January, the Annual Renewals process is an automated task to renew all annual loans for a further 12 months. All borrowers will receive an emailed list of their loans and the new due date. At this time, we ask staff to contact us if they no longer need their items or want to reallocate their loans to another staff member.
