Off campus branch libraries

Graduate School of Business Information Centre

The Library worked with Curtin Business School to establish an Information Centre at the QV1 building in the Perth central business district where courses for the Graduate School of Business were located. The Centre opened in July 1993. When the School moved to a new location in Murray Street, still in the heart of Perth, the library service moved also, opening in the new premises in January 2002.

Therapy Library

In 1994, renovations at the Therapy Library provided much needed group study space and 36 individual carrels for quiet study, as well as more shelving space for reserve items, an additional photocopier, and new front desks.

When the School of Occupational Therapy moved from Shenton Park to the Bentley campus in 2000, the Library, with assistance from the School’s academic staff, identified the parts of the Therapy Library’s combined occupational therapy/physiotherapy collection which needed to be relocated. Roughly half the works were moved to the main library and duplicates were purchased of titles required in both collections.

In 2002, the School of Physiotherapy also moved to Bentley. The Therapy Library closed and its remaining collections were integrated into Robertson Library.

Kalgoorlie Campus Library

In 1999 the Kalgoorlie Campus Library was incorporated as an affiliate library of the Curtin Library. In the subsequent restructuring of library services, the Bentley based Senior Librarian (Engineering and Science) took on management responsibilities for the Kalgoorlie Campus Library from January 2001.

The co-location of the Eastern Goldfields Senior High School onto the Kalgoorlie Campus added further complexities as the school students were able to use the library and have borrowing privileges.
