Services

The library houses a rich collection of academic resources dedicated to supporting UOWD students, alumni, and staff. This collection continues to grow and evolve, encompassing electronic journals, subject-based resources, standards, and statistical information. The library aims to provide resources for both University research and teaching and learning.

You can explore the library catalogue which contains over 30,000 physical items, at any time. Additionally, you can visit our electronic and research resources page to access a wide range of resources, including Ebooks, Ejournals, Databases, Articles, guides, and many more.

Should you have any general inquiries regarding Library usage, our services, or require assistance in locating information, our Library staff are readily available to assist you. Feel free to reach out to a librarian for any library and research-related questions. You can contact us via phone, email, in person, or our online drop-in service.
