School tours
High School teachers in the New England Region can organise to bring their senior classes for a tour of the University Library. Students in Years 10, 11 or 12 will be given an orientation tour to assist them in acquiring library skills and in locating resources to aid them in their studies. An introduction to the library catalogue can also be incorporated in the tour.
Tour arrangements should be made at least two weeks in advance of the date. Please telephone the Service Desk on 02 6773 2458 to make a booking.
