Borrowers from other universities and TAFES
Eligible students from other universities and TAFES in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) as well as from interstate can register to borrow from the ANU Library as part of two reciprocal borrowing programs.
ACTUAL reciprocal borrowing program
This program allows eligible students and staff from ACT universities and TAFES to borrow in person from the participating university and academic libraries.
Eligible students and staff at ACT universities can register as ACTUAL members by visiting the relevant Library and providing proof of enrolment or employment at their home institution.
ULANZ borrowing scheme
