The JK Murray Library at our Gatton campus has been transformed into a student-focused hub where students can access research, support services, study, collaborate, and share ideas with their peers. The project will improve the student experience at the campus and create a more vibrant learning environment that integrates on-campus learning, community engagement and student life.

We are trialling Browzine (February to July 2018), an online service to browse, read and follow scholarly journals. Send us your feedback, help decide if we subscribe.

Dr Ashley Haywood is the recipient of the Library’s Creative Writing Fellowship. The Creative Writing Fellowship provides an emerging Australian author with the opportunity to develop a new work of creative writing, drawing on the special collections of The University of Queensland's Fryer Library as inspiration for a novel, play, collection of short stories, book of poems, novella or associated creative work. The Fellowship is offered with the support of the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund, an Australian not-for-profit organisation with an interest in supporting creativity, and library donors.

ORCID is a critical piece of research identifier infrastructure. The University of Queensland will integrate ORCID across all relevant research management platforms. UQ encourages researchers to utilise ORCID in their research workflows.
