Libraries
The University Library is one of Australia's oldest cultural institutions and one of the country's finest research libraries. The Library supports the University community by providing a wide range of collections, library services and learning environments that support both student learning and research.
The Library is firmly future-focussed, seeking to establish new ways of creating, collecting, sharing, recording, disseminating and preserving knowledge to enrich the academic and research mission of the University.
