In addition, it provides a wide range of online resources and services to staff and students across all campuses and study locations.
The Library also leads the management of the University’s business records and archives. This includes the maintenance of information management systems and the use of data analytics to improve processes. Together, these efforts ensure that key information is captured, organised and preserved, supporting compliance, informed decision-making and the ongoing accessibility of the University’s records.
