Committees
We have extensive collections and offer a range of services to help students, staff and the community find the information they require.
The Library service charter outlines our mission:
By delivering excellent information resources and services the Library is integral to the University’s mission of advancing, transmitting and sustaining knowledge.
Feedback and suggestions
We value your feedback in assessing the quality of our services and ensuring we are continuously improving.
In a 2007 survey our clients praised us for creating a quiet haven for study, making electronic resources available from outside the Library and providing good customer service.
If you have suggestions, please ask a question, contact the Library or complete a Suggestions to the Library form, available in all subject libraries.
We also welcome recommendations for new titles from UWA students. Academic staff may use the online recommendation form.
