Q. How do I borrow items from the Library?

Items are borrowed using your student ID, alumni, or guest membership card.

Wollongong and Shoalhaven Campus Library users can borrow Library items using our contactless borrowing app. The UOW Library Borrowing App is available for both Apple and Android devices. If you prefer, you can borrow your items using the Kiosk at the Service Desk.

App users:

1. Download ‘UOW Library Borrowing’ from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store and launch the app.

2. Log into the app by scanning your library card or entering your UOW login details. Once you have done this the first time, the app will remember your details. 

3. Use the app to scan the barcode of the items you want to borrow – you can do this right from the shelves or from a study desk in the Library!

Kiosk users:

1. Login to the kiosk by the Service Desk by scanning your library card or entering your UOW login details.

2. To borrow, scan the barcode on the item.

For further information on borrowing, refer to the Borrowing page on the Library website. Those borrowing from regional and metropolitan campus libraries, click on Borrowing from your campus library on the Borrowing page.

Please see Library staff if you need any assistance when borrowing item.
