Unlock the benefits of physical books

With thousands of articles and ebooks accessible from the comfort of our laptops, the power of the library's physical collections can easily be overlooked. Take time to browse our shelves when you're researching for your next assessment.

Don't ditch your digital resources, but consider picking up a book that complements them for your next assessment. Here's why:

• Discovery: if your research is feeling a bit stagnant, browsing the shelves can help you find a new direction, make fresh connections or explore an unexpected perspective.
• Access: not everything is online. ACU Library holds unique, out-of-print, or rare materials that you can't find elsewhere, helping your reference list to stand out.
• Credibility: the books on our shelves have been carefully selected and vetted for their reliability, relevance and academic credibility, saving you time and worry.
• Focus: the library is designed for getting work done. It's the perfect distraction-free space to dive deep into your research.

Drop by next time you're on campus and dedicate some time to exploring our physical collections. ACU's librarians are here to help you make the most of being bookish, so don't hesitate to ask for help.
