Improved library facilities for Higher Degree by Research students

Over the summer level three of the Bundoora library was recarpeted and new study furniture installed.  This floor is designated as a silent study space and is regularly patrolled by a security guard.

The Bundoora library has 2174 seats.  Currently Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students have a designated collaborative room on level two with eight workstations and an informal working space.  In recognition of the importance of research at La Trobe the Library team has designated thirty five lockable carrels on level three as HDR only study spaces. These carrels are available for a semester. Each carrel has a work table, a bookshelf and a power point.

The carrels are available:

• 8.00 am – 9.45 pm Monday – Thursday
• 8.00 am – 5.45 pm on Friday
• 9.30 – 4.45 pm on the weekend.

This service will be available from 27 February.  No carrel loans will be be issued before 27 February. HDR students interested in ‘borrowing’ a carrel for the semester should go to the Library inquiry desk to have their HDR status verified and key issued.
