If you can’t find what you are looking for in the Gordon Library, please ask at the library service desk as there are a number of different options available to you:
CAVAL Reciprocal Borrowing Program
The CAVAL scheme allows Gordon students and staff to borrow resources in person from other Victorian TAFE and University Libraries (such as Deakin University Library). Applications for a CAVAL membership card must be made in person at the Service Desk of the City or East Library. When you visit another library, you need to take both your current Gordon staff or student ID card and CAVAL membership card to the service desk of that library. It is important to remember that when you borrow from other libraries, you are subject to that library’s policies and procedures.
Inter-Library Loans
If you are studying Certificate III and above and it is not possible for you to borrow or photocopy resources from other libraries in person, you may request The Gordon Library to obtain resources on your behalf via an Inter-Library Loan. This service is granted on a case by case basis and you may only request one item at a time. Please contact the library for more information. Staff can request Inter-Library Loans by applying in person to the library service desks, by phone or via email. Resources from other libraries usually take 2 to 3 weeks to arrive.
Geelong Regional Library Corporation
The Geelong Regional Library Corporation operates free public libraries for the residents of Geelong. Their City Library is a short walk from the Gordon City campus. We can search their library catalogue for you from our Service Desks.
