Swinburne Library
The libraries on each of the three campuses of

Hawthorn & Eastern) provide learning and
information resources and services in support
of Swinburne's teaching and research
programs. Students are entitled to use and
borrow from any campus library.
The combined collections include over
200,000 books, 3,000 periodical titles, print
and CD-ROM indexes and abstracts, and a
large collection of audio and video tapes,
slides, interactive videodiscs' and computer
software. All matecials in the collections are
available for use in the libraries, and most may
be borrowed. Access to all collection is
facilitated by a shared online catalogue, and an
inter-campus loan service. The range of
resources available is extended through
reciprocal borrowing arrangements with most
other university and TAFE libraries, and a
number of networked access arrangements to
electronic databases.
Library staff work closely with teaching staff to
develop resources and help students to make
best use of them. Programs designed to
