Murdoch Campus Library Collection Relocation

Between November 2006 and February 2007 much of the Library’s collection was relocated to make way for the building of the Learning Common.

Following the move the majority of the collections are located in the South Wing, apart from the science journals which remain on North Wing level 2. Reserve remains on North Wing level 3 but in a different location and the Reference collection remains in Link level 3.

The collections are now shelved into single DDC sequences for both books and journals (except for the J 500s and J 600s and the Law collection 340s). This should make it easier to locate items in the Library.

All changed locations now display in the Libary Catalogue.

New locations for books, journals and other material are detailed below.
