  LIBRARY SERVICES

    
  
  Supporting your research and study needs

  
  Our libraries provide you with the following services:
  

  Borrowing items from the library

  If you are currently enrolled in a TAFE course, you can borrow from any TAFE NSW library by bringing your TAFEcard to the Loans Desk.

  • You can borrow up to 15 items.
  • All loans and renewals are for 2 weeks.
  • Some libraries may have local conditions on specific types of items.

  
  Renewals

  You can renew any loan twice, providing the item is not overdue and no one has reserved it.

  
  Instructional Tours

  TAFE Libraries offer three main types of instructional session: Introductory tours, Internet tours and Research tours. Ask your teacher to book a tour on behalf of your class.

  
  Holds

  Items which are on loan from the library can be reserved, and will be held for you to borrow when they are returned to the library. The library will notify you when the items are available for you to collect.

  
  Inter Library Loans

  If you need an item which is held in another TAFE library, contact your own College Library to arrange an Inter Library Loan.

  
  Closed Reserve

  Library resources that are in heavy demand may be held in Closed Reserve. These resources will normally have a shorter loan limit than other library resources and may only be available for use in the library. There will be a note in the library catalogue if an item is held in Closed Reserve. Ask at the Library's Loans Desk to access items held in this section of the library.
