A message from Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Coordination) Professor Hayden Ramsay:
I am very pleased that our library staff have demonstrated admirable resilience throughout the pandemic. Despite lockdowns and large number of university staff moving to an online environment while working from home, dedicated library staff remained on campus to serve our students and community. Additionally, new products and other initiatives continue to be launched despite the difficulties of 2020-2021.
Our Director, Libraries, Fides Datu Lawton, shares some of the new and exciting initiatives available through ACU Libraries.
The Library is contributing to ACU Autism Awareness Week by obtaining and promoting ebook titles by authors with autism. Because these titles are available as ebooks, they are accessible from anywhere using the ACU network. You can also join the Library updates Workplace group to follow the Autistic Author series and to receive other Library updates.
In addition to the rich print and online resources available through the ACU campus libraries, ACU staff and students can also borrow from other Australian and New Zealand university libraries through the ULANZ reciprocal borrowing service.
Undergraduates now have unlimited loans and renewals on standard loans unless recalled by another borrower.
The ACU library supports the Learning and Teaching Centre (LTC) program to embed Indigenous Knowings into the ACU curricula and is proud to introduce the Indigenous Knowings library search filter. Here's how it works:
The Library has self-service document tools available which can help with converting documents to more accessible formats:
