Library
Collections
Macquarie University Library holds over 1.8 million print and electronic items. They include books, journals, newspapers, reports, conference proceedings, working papers, maps, Macquarie postgraduate theses, computer software, multimedia, microfilm, microfiche, posters, toys, games and additional non-print resources. New items are regularly added to ensure high quality resources are available for learning, teaching and research.
The Library has also acquired by purchase, donation and bequest, with many collections containing rare items. Some collections are discrete and separate, while others provide focus for development in specialised areas. Access to these items is often restricted.
Access
Most items are located in the Library's main collection. Restricted access collections are not available for loan but can be read under supervision. To request a consultation, visit our Information Desk on level 2.
