Library News for October 2015

Helping Hand

This month we were lucky to have a student worker join our team. Abdulla Alfazari took a break from Engineering to join the Library staff and we really appreciate all the work he was able to do when he was with us. Keep an eye out for Abdulla’s Wonderful Website recommendation in our November newsletter.

It is a quiet study area and is equipped with print and electronic research resources suitable for Masters and PhD students. This room is also available to Year 4 Bachelor students working on research projects upon request.
