University of Newcastle Law School Library

The Law Library plays a significant role in the teaching and research functions of the Newcastle Law School. The law collection is located on level 3 in the main library, the Auchmuty Library.

The collection has developed since Newcastle Law School ‘s inception and currently comprises almost 50,000 volumes. The library subscribes to the major law reports, legislation, loose-leaf services and law journals. The library holds a substantial collection of law texts (approximately 10,000 titles) mostly from major common law jurisdictions, and a number of databases in both bibliographic and full text format. Increasing use is being made of electronically delivered primary material and journals.
