Services

Photocopies

The library network primarily supports the work of the Department of Agriculture and Food, however the information resources in the Library can be accessed by members of the public.

Visitors are able to view items from the collection and to photocopy material for research or private study. There is a charge for photocopying.

Collections

The main collection is located at South Perth but smaller collections are held by all country centres. The collection includes books, serials, indexes, maps, newspapers, statistics, slides and some special material, such as film, photographs, slides and videos.

Most material is on open access on the shelves but a proportion is housed in another building. The location of an item is noted in the library catalogue. Ask at the enquiry desk if you need a title which is not available on the open shelves.
