Community and OUA

Our Community membership allows community members to borrow books and access selected electronic resources for free. Students and staff from overseas institutions are also eligible for this membership.

Note: If you are studying or working at another Australian university or TAFE, you can use our ULANZ or CAVAL membership schemes.

Join

To join the library, complete a Library membership application.

• Once you have submitted the application you will receive an email with your borrower details, so it is important that you enter your correct email address, so that you can start to access library services and resources.
• If you do not receive an email or if you have questions about the process or membership, please contact the library.

Membership is free and lasts 12 months.

To renew your membership, contact the library.
