We have copies of the following books in our library. Links have been provided for majority of the books so people can get some idea of what they are about. Unfortunately not all links have previews of the contents in the books; some only have book info and a cover picture.
Our borrowing policy is quite liberal. Borrowers just have to record their full name and contact details. We are happy for people to borrow the books for as long as they need, within reason. We hold all of the books at our Centre in Ascot Vale and anybody, students or the general public, are more than welcome to come and borrow. Alternatively book pickups and book returns can be arranged to be made from the RMIT city campus, and book returns can be made by post. You can contact us via email which is listed on the ‘Contact’ page.
