At the recent Friends of Fryer event on Tuesday the 14th of August,
an informative panel gathered to discuss histories of Women's Writing at the
University of Queensland Press.
A common feature of reading rooms at special collections libraries &
archives is that making copies is rarely as simple as finding the nearest
photocopier.
Copying can be constrained for various reasons such as fragility of
materials, cultural or access restrictions, and copyright law.
The Fryer Library will be closed for RNA Show public holiday on
Wednesday the 15th of August. However, you can read about our
previous 'ekka' display
on our treasures of the
month page.
You can view current opening hours for all UQ libraries, online.
Our new University Librarian, American Robert Gerrity opened the event,
mentioning Earls's new book Welcome to Normal as a
timely supplement to his current list of must-read Australian literature.
As the special collections library at the University of Queensland, Fryer
provides access to materials, which can't always make the digital leap. Our
diverse library collections include rare books, original
manuscripts, primary historical documents, architectural plans
and art
works.
