UTAS Library
The Science Library in the Centenary Building on the Sandy Bay campus, the Launceston Campus Library, and other UTAS
libraries, should be your first choice for searching for and accessing
information on geography. Students and staff
should exhaust these resources before seeking access to other libraries. 
Other libraries in Tasmania
Some societies, private companies and many commonwealth, state and local government organisations in Tasmania have their own libraries. Resources from most of the listed libraries are available on Document Delivery* and usually this is the preferred method of accessing those resources. The extent to which these libraries may provide assistance to UTAS staff and students varies, though most are willing to try. The list of libraries is not comprehensive but it outlines some of the known access constraints.
* Document Delivery service is available to graduate students and staff
