Student & Staff library membership

You automatically have a membership with the library if you are a student or staff member of the University. Your library borrowing record is where we record the items that you have borrowed and information relevant to your borrowing at the library.

You can also access your library record online via Library Search.

Your library borrowing record

Your library borrowing record allows you to keep track of the items that you've borrowed and any fines that you have accrued. You can also use it to renew your loans (some items are not renewable, eg hourly loans and overnight loans).

Access to electronic resources

Your library membership gives you access to electronic resources including databases, e-journals, full-text articles and ebooks through Library Search.

Apart from some designated library terminals, access to electronic resources is limited to current University of Melbourne staff and students. If your access is not working, please check if your staff/student card is current with your Faculty.

Single sign-on

The library uses the University's single sign-on (SSO) service to provide borrowers with access to their borrowing record and other library services.

SSO allows you to provide your username and password once and then move seamlessly between many University web applications. For instance, it lets you move from the student portal to Library Search without the need to log in again.

Logging in with your library barcode

Some library services require you to use your library barcode to log in, eg the Interlibrary Loans portal.

Locating your library barcode

Your library barcode can be found on your ID card and is also displayed underneath your name in your Borrowing Record.
