The Frank Lowy Library
The Frank Lowy Library is a dedicated library for business faculty and postgraduate students. Its mission, of supporting the AGSM MBA and AGSM Executive Programs, is as relevant in today’s Australian School of Business as it was when the original AGSM was established over 30 years ago.
The Frank Lowy Library has access to a large number of premium business research tools, and the staff are familiar with the research and teaching needs of the business school faculty. Our staff have experience with research in the private sector, and we are familiar with tight deadlines and exacting levels of service.

The Frank Lowy Library and Executive Programs
The Frank Lowy Library has been piloting some innovative services to support AGSM Executive Programs. The goal is two-fold. Improve the learning experience of participants before and during program by working closely with course co-ordinators to provide readings which are relevant and accessible. In addition to the usual journal articles, the Library also provides self-updating pre-made searches. Recognizing that participants in ASGM Executive Programs are usually time poor, the Library also highlights the best of the web on the given topics.
The other goal is to ensure participants get value from their Executive Program even after the course has finished. The Library is assisting the establishment of these virtual communities by providing current and relevant content.
Bloomberg at the Frank Lowy Library
Bloomberg is one of the world’s premier financial databases. Bloomberg collects data for 3.7 million securities across all markets worldwide. Use Bloomberg to find nearly any type of financial and historical data.
The markets covered include: government and corporate bonds, mortgage, money-market, stock market indices, currency (spots, futures, options on over 100 currencies), commodities and equities.Current students, faculty and staff may use Bloomberg at The Frank Lowy Library.
