Due to the State of Disaster in Victoria we will be closing the Melbourne campus Library effective 5pm Tuesday 4 August 2020
For more information about the closure see the ACU response to COVID-19.
If you are a Melbourne student or a staff member based at our Melbourne campus and you have books on loan you do not need to do anything. All books will be extended, and any fines incurred during this time will be waived.
If you have placed a hold or requested an inter-campus loan you will NOT be able to collect it.
Until further notice Melbourne students and staff will not be able to request inter-campus loans. Staff and higher decree students can continue to request digital copies or scans only via interlibrary loan. We apologise for this inconvenience.
Our online services and resources will operate as usual via the Library website. Remember you will need to sign in using your ACU username and password to access resources from home.
Please check our online resources via Library search, Library guides and Databases A-Z to find alternate resources.
Our chat service is available 24/7 and we have increased the monitoring of our email service so we can respond to you quickly. Both are available from the Library website.
Library staff will continue to provide (Leganto) reading list and other services to academic staff members.
Our other campus libraries remain open.
