Your first few weeks at university can be a challenging path, but the Library can be your guide to navigate the twists and turns along your journey to success at university.
We have gathered a few tips from last year’s first year students to help you discover the Library’s support and reach your full potential.

- Place holds on books:
If a book is located at a different campus or is currently checked out, you can place a hold to have it delivered to your preferred campus or secure your spot in line to borrow it.
- Borrowing and referencing:
Familiarise yourself with the Library’s borrowing system and take home books for further study. In addition, the Library’s Referencing Guides are a valuable resource for academic writing and research.
- 24/7 secure study space:
The Nathan and Gold Coast campus libraries are open 24/7 allowing you to immerse yourself in a focused academic environment.
- Tailored study spaces:
Quiet study spaces and bookable study spaces cater to your different study needs. Whether you require complete silence or a collaborative environment, we have a variety of study space for you.
- Borrowing a laptop:
As a research candidate, undergraduate or postgraduate student, you can borrow a laptop from the Library for up to three hours while on campus. It’s a convenient service that can support your academic needs.
