On the 11th of November, Ultimo College Library chalked up 25 years in its current position in Building D, on Mary Ann Street, Ultimo.
The library has wonderful photographs on display of the construction of Building D,the opening ceremony, technology then and now and what was hip and happening in 1983.
A brief history of the college from 1892 to 2008 is well worth viewing.
Come and visit the display in the International Meeting Place, Level 1, Building D

Ultimo College Library took part in the Health Expo at The Muse which was presented by HUG (Health Ultimo Group) and the Student Association.
The library has a lot of books and AV material to offer on health and related topics. Also displayed were a variety of magazines that are available for loan. Perhaps it will not be a surprise to the many converts of this excellent magazine that “Delicious” proved to be the most popular.
The most recent edition and back issues of Delicious are available for borrowing and may be found on Level 1 in the serials collection @ 641.505/DELI
Among the exhibitors were Standard Drinks Promotion and Drug Info Website. Another couple of websites that may be worth looking at
