Libraries Australia is a National Borrowing
Scheme ( http://www.caul.edu.au/ula/)
that allows all staff and students of AVCC member universities to borrow in
person from any other interstate university in Australia.
Students will be asked to present a photo ID as well as proof of current
enrolment. This could be your
enrolment advice form or other proof from your university.
Staff members will be asked to present a photo ID and proof of current
employment with a
university participating in the scheme, these items are sufficient to allow
staff at the Loans Desk to issue an Approved Borrowers card.

| Fines for Late Returns |
|
Penalties and fines for late return of material are set out on the Library website at :
http://w2.vu.edu.au/library/lending/overdues.htm. The library may also send details of overdue material or monies to your Home Institute Library, which may also impose penalties.
More information on the NBS and links to
participating libraries' sites, is available from the National Borrowing
Scheme website: http://www.caul.edu.au/ula/.
Note: Under reciprocal borrowing arrangements, borrowing conditions are set
by the 'host' library and it is the responsibility of the borrower to observe
all rules and regulations of that library. Please be aware that the CAVAL and
NBS agreements all stipulate that 'host' libraries may pass details of
outstanding loans and charges to the 'home' library.
Note:
Due to Australian law and various licensing agreements with suppliers, it is
unlikely that 'host' libraries will provide you with either electronic database
or Internet access. Your source for such access remains your ‘Home’ Library.
For more information on the resources available, view ‘host’ libraries
instructions on accessing electronic resources. |
