Podcasts @ Your Library – South Wing Level 4

If you are not standing in the foyer area of this floor, please pause your tour now and make your way there.

You should be standing just outside the entrance to this floor, where you will find the book collections for Computer Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, Sociology, Tourism, Political Science, Public Administration, Criminology, Environmental Science, Economics, Commerce, Education and Languages.

Stop in the foyer, noting the lift and the stairs on your left and toilets to your right. Opposite the lift you will notice the Minter Ellison Room, which houses the Holmes A Court Collection of Law material. This room is also used for Library Information Training classes.

Before you walk through the glass doors into level 4, note the floor plans on your left, and the Silent Zone sign – this floor has been especially designated as a silent study area.

As a courtesy to other library users, please remember to switch your mobile phone to silent on all floors of the Library. Calls may be taken in the stairwells. Note also that bottled water may be brought onto this floor.

Now walk through the doors, past the computers on your right and the sorting shelves on your left.

As you walk along this floor you will notice the Computer Science, Philosophy, Psychology, and Religion book collections on the left hand side. On the right hand side are religion, sociology, political science and public administration books and over by the windows are individual study desks.

Undergraduate students may borrow 12 items from the general collection for a period of 4 weeks unless recalled. Different loan periods and the number of items that can be borrowed apply to staff, postgraduate students and other borrowers – for further information about this please ask Library staff or check the Library website. To borrow library resources you will need your University ID card. For fast loans use the Self Check Machines on North Wing Level 3 or if you need assistance, please take your books to the Enquiry and Loans Desk also on North Wing Level 3.

Keep walking. The feeling of peacefulness on this floor is because it has been designated a “Silent Zone” in the Library. As you come to the end of this floor, there are two Group Study Rooms on your left followed by a Staff Meeting Room. At the end of the floor turn right and walk past the postgraduate study carrels.

Pause at the end of the carrels and note the large books collection in the left-hand corner of the floor, and just in front of you the stairwell and Emergency Exit. On your immediate right is the Pamphlet Collection for this floor, as well as the Government Pamphlets and Government Publications.

Now turn right and walk forward with the windows to your left.

Adjacent to the windows are more individual study desks, and further along are some tables between the shelves on your right. Please remember that other students will expect you to be studying silently, unless you are in the Group Study Rooms, in which case the doors should be closed. As you walk along you will pass the book collections for Languages, Commerce, Tourism, Education, Criminology, Public Administration and Economics. Now turn right and walk through to the foyer of South Wing Level 4.

You should pause your tour here and make your way to South Wing Level 1.
