Library service catalogue

The Division of Library Services provides high-quality information services and resources to support students, staff, and all members of the University community, both on campus and online. We are committed to excellence and innovation in the delivery of library services across all modes of access.

Discover everything we offer.

Student voice plays an important role in how we shape and improve Library services, spaces, systems and resources with our students.

The Library gathers student input in a range of ways including surveys, Your Student Voice insights, regular interactive activities, feedback walls and conversations with our students. Together, these help us understand student needs over time and respond in practical, meaningful ways.

In response to student feedback we have:

  • improved wayfinding in Library spaces and reduced jargon on our website to make information easier to find.
  • created short, self‑guided audio tours and First Time on Campus modules improve preparedness and reduce overwhelm.
  • noise‑cancelling headphones and earplugs at each campus, expanded a range of study spaces (including outdoor areas), and introduced blankets, lap desks and additional bean bags for more flexible study spaces.
  • introduced SSAF‑funded home delivery for online students, snacks and hot drinks at each campus, free stationery, free printing, binding and laminating, and free textbooks for first‑year subjects.

We continue to use student input to inform priorities, test ideas, and shape Library services that are inclusive, practical and responsive.
