Renovations of the Education Resource Centre (ERC) and the adjacent Frank Tate building are almost complete. This is the first of our new-style ‘learning precincts’ where library, student services, social and study spaces, cafes and other amenities form the centre of a local campus community based on related academic disciplines.
The lower levels of the ERC reopened in Semester Two 2008, with beautiful new spaces for individual and quiet group study and improved library facilities.
Additional self-checkout machines and a new check-in room are on the way, and renovation work is continuing on level 3.
The Engineering general collection has arrived in its new home at ERC and is now available on the main shelves. Once the shelf bracing (strengthening) work is complete, the reference collection will be placed back on shelves for easy browsing and searching.
ERC opening hours in 2009 will be the same as for the Baillieu Library.
Selected journals from the ERC have been moved to the Library store in Brunswick. Selected monographs will also be moved into the store, freeing shelf space in the ERC, Baillieu, Law and Economics libraries.
To request an item from the store, first find it online in the main Library catalogue or in SuperSearch. Click the relevant link in the item’s record and provide a few details. The Library will then arrange to deliver the requested item to your campus, usually within one business day.
