ANU Print Repository relocation project update

01 Aug 2024

The ANU Print Repository relocation project is nearing completion!

All year, our staff have been hard at work relocating 47km of collection materials to the new storage facility in Symonston.

While the building is still a construction site and closed to the public, all shelving has been constructed and over 90% of the collection is now in place!

Monographs are now able to be requested for retrieval. These items are requestable through the library catalogue. Book chapter scanning is not yet available. 

All other items, including serials, are not yet available for retrievals, but can be requested in other formats using the document supply request form. We are aiming to have these accessible in the coming month - and will provide updates on the library website. 

University records are shelved, and retrieval requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis until the facility is fully operational. 

A huge thank you to the amazing staff in the library, records and archives, contractors, and commercial services, for all their hard work.
