You can view 2 items for up to 3 hours within the campus buildings. You will need to show your current student card.
  2. Students at city campuses can borrow items from other La Trobe campus libraries. You can also visit the Melbourne campus library to borrow items in person.
  3. The items will be delivered to your city campus reception desk for collection during opening hours.
  4. Items can be returned via the return bins at the reception desks or through the book return chutes at the Melbourne campus library.
