How do I borrow?

Monash staff can borrow by presenting your current Monash ID card and the items you wish to borrow at the Loans Counter.

You will NOT be able to borrow without your card.

How many items can I borrow, and for how long?

  • Monash staff may have 10 items on loan at any one time.
  • most books are available for 30 days, but some high demand items may be restricted.
  • other loan periods depend on the type of material and its location.

How do I keep track of my loans and recalls?

  • register your email with the Library and you will be reminded when books are due, or informed when recalls are available for pickup.
  • use the Patron Information button on Voyager to see your record in full.

Please note that ultimate responsibility for returning books on time lies with the user.

What happens if I return an item late?

NOTE: Books must be returned 10 minutes before library closing time on the due date.

The library provides an after-hours return slot.

If you have an overdue item you will be unable to borrow until it has been returned and you will also incur fines:

  • R 1 per item per day.
    R1.00 per hour for Reserve items.
  • If you wish to be reminded when your books are due, register your email account with the library.
  • You are not required to pay any money unless your fines reach R40.00. If you reach R40.00 (or more) you must pay the entire amount before you can borrow again.
  • If you have reached this limit you will be blocked from borrowing until your fines have been paid in full.
