InterALIA, June 2005
Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Library, Uni SA
The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Library is pleased to announce its refurbished extension on Level 4 at the City West campus of the University of South Australia. Following a period of inadequate accommodation it is a pleasure to announce functional and attractive research facilities; that the collections of published material, audio visual and reference works are now accessible and the library archivist has storage and processing space. A small display featuring a re-creation of the Office of the Prime Minister as it was in Old Parliament House is a welcome feature and talking point for visiting community groups and students.
Groups visiting the library in the last month have included Friends of the State Library, ALIA Specials, ALIA SA, Women's information services and Ask about Adelaide. It is anticipated that Bob Hawke will be a visitor in July to an informal function to acknowledge the new facilities. With the forthcoming BHPML's 3rd national conference in September 'Simply the best: women's collections in libraries, archives and museums' the new look library is in a key position to support the information and research needs of users until its relocation to purpose built facilities in 2007.
Please contact the manager, Jenni Jeremy for further details or to plan a visit ph 8302 0318.
