Deakin University Library offers a Delivery Service to eligible off-campus students. The library website is your first link to the vast resources available to you both within Deakin University Library and around the world.
Items can be delivered, at no direct cost to you, to your home or business. The Delivery Service is available to all students who enrol to study through the off campus mode, except on-campus students who are studying both on and off campus units in a semester and Deakin staff enrolled as off-campus students.

You will need a library PIN and password to:
• make a request for library material listed in the catalogue to be sent to you
• view what you have out on loan.
• renew what you have out on loan.
You are able to create your PIN from the link on the Library’s homepage, or from the Library catalogue. Note: Your Library ID number is different to your student number. More information about Library PINs and passwords
Your Deakin Card is also your Library borrowing card. You will need to know what your Library ID number is (barcode starting X011... printed on the bottom of your Deakin card), when you want to access your library details, request items to be sent to you, and to renew items out on loan to you.
