It is divided into separate Units:

Physical Resources Unit This Unit is responsible for the ordering, receipting, cataloguing, end processing and binding of all print material (books & journals) required to support the learning, teaching and research programs of the University.
Electronic Resources Unit This Unit is responsible for the provision and maintenance of access to the Library’s online resources. The Unit is also responsible for the development and implementation of online programs which support access to these resources including Sirius, SFX, MyCourse, and The Australian Digital Theses Program - (ADT@UNSW)
