Library

Library provides a focus point for university life and studies. The Library's collection of more than 570,000 print items is housed in:

• Murdoch Campus Library
• Peel Education Campus Library
• Rockingham Regional Campus Community Library
• Veterinary Branch Library

The Library provides access to a wide range of information, via the option Find Information Resources . Much of this information, including access to the Murdoch University Library Catalogue , catalogues of Western Australian Libraries and World-Wide Libraries , is also available from home for students who have a modem and access to the University's network. The rapid growth in electronic information means that library users need to be able to retrieve and manipulate electronic texts.

The Library provides Information Skills training to ensure that everyone is able to use its services effectively. In addition to its general collections of books, journals and audiovisual items, the Library provides Reserve collections of items in heavy demand. Items in Reserve must be used within the Library, or borrowed on overnight loan. The Library also maintains a Course Materials service.

The Library's Web site provides current information on Opening Hours and details on the Learning Common where 24 hour access is available 7 days a week.
