Student Enquiries
Library staff are available to assist with research enquiries, referencing and understanding assessments in person, by phone, via email or over Zoom.
To book an individual Zoom support session, please email the library with your support needs and 2 available times between 9am-5pm, Mon-Thurs. The Library will respond to confirm a time and provide a link for the session. Please note: staff may need to arrange session times based on availability.
Campus Facilities
Student seating, tables and study carrels are available in the library space. Power outlets are positioned all around the library, and students may see staff for access to the wi-fi network.
An additional quiet study area and meditation room is available above the Library on Level 1 of the Blue Pod, which students may use both during and outside of library hours. The quiet study space is not accessible from within the library, so items will need to be borrowed before students take them upstairs. This space is occasionally unavailable due to meditation groups.
