Higher education

University Library Australia is a national borrowing scheme that allows all staff and students of AVCC member institutions to borrow from other university libraries. ULA is not intended to supplant the home institution as the primary supplier of information resources and services.

Non-CDU students and staff

Northern Territory residents studying at other Australian universities and living within 80km of Darwin, Palmerston or Alice Springs may become members of CDU library under the ULA scheme.

Borrowing is in person (ie no off campus services) and only at the campus where you joined.

Membership will not be given for any period less than three months. See Lending services for more information.

This reciprocal borrower membership is provided free of charge upon presentation of:
