Borrowing and ordering
Where can I find items that I have ordered? How long can I borrow them for? This is where you can find answers to any questions you might have about borrowing.
Inter-library loan
If you need an item that isn’t held by the USL, you can order it from an external library via the interlibrary loan service or request its purchase via a direct delivery service.
Using e-media
You can make use of several thousand e-periodicals, e-books and databases at any time of day or night, either within the University or from the comfort of your own home.
Studying and working
Whether you’re after an individual workspace, a group study pod, a scanning station or a workspace with video facilities, you will find somewhere that meets your needs in the USL.
Printing, photocopying, scanning
Use the printers, photocopiers and scanners at the USL’s various sites or place an order for reproductions.
Lockers
Bags and coats as well as study materials can be stored in the lockers in the Main Library and MNL Branch Library.
