There are extensive reading and study areas in all the libraries, and each library offers borrowing facilities to any student in the University. Training is offered in the use of the catalogue at the beginning of the academic year, and help is always available from the Information Desk. In addition, students can register online for reciprocal borrowing rights, which enable them to use the collections of both the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia. Free internet access in each library through dedicated terminals. Facilities are provided for the use of microform and audio visual materials, while microcomputers and photocopiers are also available for student use.
Charges apply for photocopiers and laser prints.
The photographic service is part of the multimedia unit in the Central Library. Staff and students requiring materials not available on campus may take advantage of the document delivery service. This service can deliver items from around the world. Tours of the libraries are arranged during Orientation Week, and new students should endeavour to attend one of these in order to familiarise themselves with the services. An audio tour is also available from the Reserve Desk all year round.
