Victoria University Library Service provides access to a wealth of knowledge-- through the print collections in our libraries, through electronic access and through a network of other libraries. As learning, teaching and research needs continue to evolve and change so too does the world of information. Library staff and services are here to help Victoria's staff and students make the most of this world.
This overview provides you with an insight into the Library Service--but be warned! it is constantly growing and changing to meet needs with new projects and developments. Library Services will continue to evolve in order to meet both University and individual needs. This evolution takes place in the context of a dynamic scholarly communication environment, influenced by new and emerging technologies. The Library News blog will keep you up-to-date with these developments; we also aim to keep you informed through formal and informal communication channels across the University.
With best wishes for your research, teaching or study
