Abstract

This document provides an overview of the history of the University of Queensland Library, from its foundation in 1910 until 2006. It charts the development of the collection from a small provincial university library into a major research library. Significant themes are the problems of collection development against a background of fluctuating budgetary provision, the changing nature of the workforce, and the impact of automation and information technology upon the library and its services.
