The library acquires a range of resources in support of the teaching and research programs of Flinders University. The branch location of print materials reflects courses taught at the respective locations.
We have an extensive collection of online journals, databases and e-book collections.
The Library collection is divided to differentiate between varying access levels, physical size and special storage requirements.
7 day loans are interfiled with the central books.
The books collection is spread across 2 floors of the Central library.
