Borrowing Teaching Resource Collection items

You don't have to be an Education student to borrow items from the TRC or Realia Collections.

TRC items can be borrowed using the self-checkout machines or at the InfoPoint. Larger items or kits containing multiple items may require staff assistance. TRC items can be returned to any Federation University campus library.

 

Requesting TRC items from another campus

If an item is held at a campus library that is not your home library, place a hold on the item, select your preferred pickup location, and the item will be transferred to that preferred location and await your collection from the hold shelf.

Almost all books and other physical items can be requested for inter-campus delivery. However, there are a few items that cannot be sent by standard delivery because of their size or fragility. If this is the case, Library staff will contact you to discuss options.

 

Posting TRC items to clients

You can request postal delivery of most items when you place a hold on that item. The request will be processed and the item/s posted to your specified address. 

Most books and other physical items can be sent by post. However, there are some items that cannot be posted because of their size, shape or fragility. If this is the case, Library staff will contact you to discuss options.
