The Map Collection is located on Level 7.

Individual sheet maps
	Can be found using the Library Resources Database (LRD).
Atlases, street and road directories
	The library has an up-to-date collection of general world atlases, such as The Times Atlas of the World (PATREF 912/31 Z) and atlases dealing with specific countries or parts of countries, such as the Atlas of New South Wales (PATREF912.944/8). Atlases can be major sources of thematic maps, since they often concentrate on such themes as agriculture, oceanography, geology or regional history.
