Buying books
When looking for textbooks, always check the edition and ISBN number to see if they are the same as the one which is recommended by the Course/Unit guidelines.
Always compare prices with shipping costs.

ULANZ
The ULANZ Scheme allows students to borrow from other libraries around Australia and New Zealand. You can find out more here.
The service is an in-person, face-to-face service, and so it isn’t operating at the moment due to Covid-19.
It may cost $55 to join the other library, but thanks to SSAF the TUSA is able to reimburse these costs. If you require reimbursement, please complete the form here.
