Purchase recommendations are encouraged from the UNSW community to assist the Library in building and managing one of the University's greatest assets -- the University Library collection.

 

The University Library is responsible for the overall management of the collection and is committed to developing it in alignment with the Research, and Learning and Teaching priorities of UNSW.
