Borrowing information for staff
First things first
Your Library borrower card is your Deakin card, which you can obtain at Deakin Central. Your borrower number is located at the bottom of your Deakin card, underneath the barcode and begins with X011...
Contact Deakin Central if you do not have a Deakin Card.
