Starting on June 28 and continuing until late August, Australian School of Business faculty will be moving from the AGSM building to the Heffron building in the lower campus. A number of people have been asking us if the Library will also be moving and if it will continue to be able to serve faculty and students after the move to Heffron.
Here's what's going on:
1. The Library is not moving to the Heffron building
We are staying right where we are in the AGSM building. The Library is not alone in staying in the AGSM building: Awards Programs, Residential Programs, IT and Research Centres will also be staying in the AGSM building. There are no plans to move classes from the AGSM building - this means that the Library will still be conveniently located for students attending classes and for faculty who are teaching classes. For complete details about the moving process, read the Faculty of Business Moving Newsletter [pdf file].
2. The Frank Lowy Library will continue to support teaching and learning and research for AGSM programmes
The Frank Lowy Library is focused on just one thing - providing premium library services to postgraduate business students and faculty. The UNSW Library serves a broader body of students and a wider range of subject areas. Now that the Frank Lowy Library is a part of the UNSW Library system, there is an integration process underway. Changes are happening as part of the integration process, but the process is complicated - and so it's not possible to say right now what will happen and when it will take place.
In the mean time, the Frank Lowy Library is not moving. The Library will continue to serve the AGSM community by keeping its print collection up to date and relevant and by providing library staff who are uniquely experienced with the needs of business researchers. At the same time, the Library is developing new ways of serving users in the Australian School of Business.
