Can I borrow if I forget my student ID card?

You can now borrow books using your phone using the MyBond app. 

  1. Install the MyBond app
    Get the MyBond app 
  2. Choose your itemsBorrow from the Library tile
    Visit the Main and Law libraries to choose books, board games and more. Explore collection maps or find in Library Search.
  3. Tap Borrow from the Library
    Open the MyBond app, sign in, and look for the tile with the barcode icon.
  4. Tap the Scan button
    Allow the app to use your phone's camera when prompted. Then use the scan button, or type in the barcode.
  5. Scan the barcode
    Barcodes are located on the front cover of items.
    Confirm the checkout.
  6. Scan more, or view loans
    The app will confirm the loan and offer you the option to scan more items or view your loans. It will only show the most recent 10 loans.

Always try to have your student ID on you. However, you can still borrow at the Library service desks as long as you have a form of photo ID (such as a drivers licence or passport) and know your student number.

If you lose your student ID card you can get it replaced at Student Assist.
