Reciprocal borrowing for CQUniversity staff and students at other tertiary libraries in Queensland and Australia

CQUniversity staff and students may borrow from other Australian University libraries. These privileges are only extended to borrowers who visit other libraries in person and are always granted subject to conditions of the host library. You will need to contact your chosen library to find out their reciprocal borrowing conditions.

Use the Australian Libraries Gateway to find your library.

To enrol you will need an identification card from CQUniversity. Some libraries will charge a fee for registration. Membership will be for the current calendar year only.

By requesting reciprocal borrowing status you indicate your willingness to abide by the rules and borrowing conditions of the library which is providing the service. Under the terms of the Reciprocal Borrower's Agreement CQUniversity Library indemnifies the host library against any losses incurred by CQUniversity students. Payments made on behalf of CQUniversity students will be posted to their student account in the university finance system and lending privileges will be suspended until all debts are paid.

Reciprocal borrowing is a privilege, not a right.
