Loans Policy and Your Responsibilities

Borrowing procedure

All borrowers must have their valid student/staff card with them in order to borrow. Your student/staff card will enable you to borrow from the Library at any campus of La Trobe University.

Lost Student/Staff Cards

Lost student/staff cards must be reported to the Library Loans Desk immediately. Lost student and staff cards must be replaced by Campus Services Unit/Student Administration in order to borrow from the library. A fee will be charged for a replacement card.

Loan conditions and your responsibilities

Items borrowed from all Loans Desks and Self Check Out machines are clearly labelled on a due date slip. All items must be returned or renewed on or before this due date.

An item on loan to any one person may not be transferred to another. The person to whom the loan is made is solely responsible for the safe-keeping and due return of the item. Loans will only be issued to the valid card owner. In exceptional circumstances exemptions to this policy will be considered. Applications for exemption should be made to the Loans Desk Supervisor prior to the loans transaction.

Further Regulations and Policies of the Library.

The Library reserves the right to recall any item at any time.
