I have only seen the UTS and MQ library. Based on what I saw, they are about the same size but the UTS library looks a lot better. =]

ive been in the UTS and USYD library.

im not sue which library at USYD. but it was all new and fancy. loved it. it had allot of engineering and science books though. gorgeous library.

NB: it was the library that you walk straight into when your coming from redfern station. hope that helps.

Shouldn't you be...you know studying instead of making pointless threads? :|

edit: Maybe i've just grown old and bitter at your youthful enthusiasm, but libraries which look better? C'mon at least think of better content than that.

Besides we at MQ are getting a library with robotic arms.

UWS parra library is crap, no loo inside so you have to go out to go to the loo and that whole in one door out the other is annoying.

UWS Banstown is nice and has nice cushi seats upstairs

UWS Penrith is big

I have never been in a CSU Library, I do all my stuff online.

But the online catalogues and ebook range is pretty extensive.

Will take photos next week, I might venture inside. Ew the smell of books :(

Problem with fisher is the view. I always end up staring out the window.

But otherwise, it's enormous and there are always quiet levels (obv not level 3 or 4).
