University of Queensland Library

I had a very full and interesting day at UQ Library yesterday. Newcastle staff will remember Keith Webster, who is now the UQ University Librarian and Director of Learning Services. Keith made me very welcome and I enjoyed dinner with him and his wife Berenika during a spectacular thunderstorm (what was that about nice weather over here??)
UQ is a large Library with >2.5 million books and over 46,000 EJs. They also have 60 liaison librarians, so a little different to Newcastle!
Deb Turnbull is the IL coordinator. Although UQ is so much larger I did feel that their approach to IL is very similar to ours.

Note how the writing really is on the wall – it’s very effective.
