The library is a vital element in the life of the University of Notre Dame and provides information sources that support and enhance the teaching activities of the University. At the Broome campus, the University has a modern library with a collection comprising books, journals, videos and computer files. The collection is significant for a small, developing campus and has a strong base in Aboriginal Studies, Business, Education and Religious Studies. New areas such as Nursing, Tourism and Environmental Studies are part of an aggressive acquisitions policy as the campus seeks constantly to update its collection. As part of the academic function of the library, a strong emphasis is placed on information literacy.
Instructional sessions are available to all students during orientation and throughout the year.
Library staff are available for both group and individual assistance in accessing relevant information essential to successful tertiary study. There is a growing emphasis on the provision of electronic resources and the library provides full Internet access for all students. Access is provided via the library home page to electronic sources of scholarly information including citation and full text databases and electronic journals. Journal databases containing over one thousand titles supply the full text of articles for immediate use. Students are also offered the capability of accessing these databases from home.
