The Engagement and Space Planning team provides leadership and expertise in engaging with the University and wider community and in the development and delivery of equitable library spaces. We are responsible for coordinating the library’s communication channels, including the library website and social media. As custodians of the University’s Cultural Collections, including the Art, Historical and Regional collections, we provide a high level of collection management expertise to ensure the long-term preservation and research potential of cultural collections. We make our cultural collections accessible through our collection reading rooms, the Post Office Gallery, the online environment and public programs.
