Room Bookings

Rooms are available in the libraries that can be booked, via NEWCAT, the Library Catalogue, for presentations or group study.

What you need to know BEFORE you book a room:

DO NOT book a room for someone else in your name. You must book the room in the name of the person who will pick up the key - room keys must be borrowed and can only be borrowed by the person who booked the room
You will need a library borrowers card to book any room
Check the record for the room on the NEWCAT catalogue - this will give you some information on the equipment available in a room
If you need assistance with equipment, don't leave it till you need the room - ask early.
If you have any problems booking a room contact the Loans Enquiries Desk
Borrow the key from the Loans Desk
If a room is booked and the key is not borrowed within 10 minutes of the first hour, the room can be booked by someone else
Staff only - AUCHMUTY ONLY – If you require more than one booking or need to book a room for longer than the 2 hours, contact Loans Enquiries Staff on X15850

How to make a room booking at Ourimbah

Rooms are for the use of University of Newcastle students and TAFE students who are enrolled at the Ourimbah Campus. Please see staff at the Loans Desk or Phone 43484020

Rooms are for group study purposes, 2-8 persons per room, and are not intended for individual use.
Individual quiet study areas are available on the ground floor, and with PC access in Training Lab 1 & 2.

Students may make only one 2 hour booking per day

for one of the four Ourimbah Library group study rooms.
However, once the student has used the original booking and returned the key, they may then make another booking for that day if a room is available.

Please ensure:

That you have your student card.

That the room is booked in the name of the student, and the student who has made the booking borrows the key.

Keys are borrowed from, and returned to the Loans Desk.

Fines apply for late return of key.

NOTE: If room key is not borrowed within 10 minutes of the booked time, the booking may be given to another patron.
