i know alumni can continue to use the e library off capus without walk in to the library. i live in Hong Kong and can the alunmi office able to help me to continue with the e resources?

Thank you for your enquiry. The Convocation (Alumni) borrowers scheme does no include remote access to electronic resources. Electronic resources can only be used by current staff and students . Convocation borrowers who wish to can visit the library and use a library catalogue machine to access resources. Below is the link to the convocation borrowing information.

The book "Museum, gallery, and cultural architecture in Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Region : essays in Antipodean identity" edited by Michael J. Ostwald and Steven Fleming is only available through Cultural Coll/RB STAFF. This makes it difficult to access as it can not be borrowed or photocopied. Is it possible to purchase another copy and place it in the main library?

A copy of this title has been ordered for the general collection. You will be notified when it is available.

Can I please make a suggestion for blinds to be placed on the windows of the study rooms at Ourimbah Campus Library. As a student I feel that my study time should not be interupted with other students peering through the windows and often disrupting my time by then entering the study room. If blinds were placed at the windows (internal and external) this would be beneficial. Thanks and hope this does not fall on deaf ears.

I would like to make a suggestion for the study rooms in the library at the Ourimbah campus. Can you please place blinds on all windows as privacy is an issue when trying to study and other class members often interupt the study session as they can see you, and wander in.

Thank you for your suggestion. In the past the group study rooms did have blinds but these were removed for security reasons. Just a reminder these rooms are for group work and not for individual use. There are other quiet study areas on the ground level of the Library.
