The Library provides resources in special education,
with the majority of holdings being in the area of sensory and multiple
disability. The collection includes specialised monographs and journals,
audiovisual resources and curriculum material.
A Special
Reserve Collection
includes short loan items. Displays
of new material
are regularly updated.
The Centre's affiliation with the University of Newcastle means that the collection is supplemented by the enormous resources
available at the University's two main libraries - Auchmuty and
Huxley. The collection is included in the University of Newcastle's
library catalogue, NEWCAT
.
This means the collections of Renwick Centre, Auchmuty, Huxley and the Central Coast libraries (plus a number of other libraries affiliated with the University) may be searched from a PC in any one of these locations, as well as via the Internet.
Reciprocal borrowing privileges exist between the University Libraries and Renwick Centre Library.
