You will need your UQ student/staff ID card to borrow library resources, photocopy, print and scan material in the Library, and access 24/7 study spaces. Refer to 'Starting at UQ' for more information about picking up your student ID card.

The UQ Library is made up of 15 branch libraries located across the University's campuses, hospitals and research stations. Different branch libraries have different strengths and cater for different subject disciplines. Opening hours are available online.

Video tours are available online. To view a branch tour, click on the image on the Library's Locations website. Guided library tours are available in select branches during orientation week.

My Library is the UQ Library website designed just for you! When you login to My Library, you will see widgets dedicated to specific activities, such as searching Summon, your course reading lists, your home library, and your library record.

Online faculty tutorials are available where you can learn library research skills at your own pace.

On the Library's Course Resources page you will find past exam papers and course reading lists (links to material recommended by your lecturers). You can also find readings lists for your courses in the 'My Course Resources' section of 'My Library'.

Summon is a single search tool which searches the print collection of the Library plus the content of some major journal article databases like ProQuest. With Summon you can find books, ebooks, journal articles, audio and video items all in the one search! Summon works very much like Google. To conduct a search, type your keywords in the search box and click 'search'.

Subject Guides link you directly to key resources (such as databases, dictionaries, encyclopaedias, websites) relevant to a particular area of study. They provide useful background information to help you get started with your assignments.

Fast track your assignments! Come along to a Library training session and learn how to find scholarly information in a timely manner. A variety of sessions (online and in person) are available. Bookings are usually not required.

The Library's best resource is of course its STAFF! Library staff are here to help - in person at a Library branch, online via Ask the Library, or over the phone.
