Macquarie University is first among the nation's universities under 50 years of age due to significant investment in areas of research
excellence. Located on 126 hectares, we enjoy excellent facilities and we are easily accessible by rail and bus. The new Macquarie
University Library opened in August 2011 and is the first University Library in Australia to install an Automated Storage and Retrieval
System (ASRS). This technology underpins a shift in focus from traditional hard copy resources to support for technology enabled
learning.
Within the Library, the Library Planning and Development team plans, coordinates and implements a range of operational and strategic
programs, projects and initiatives that contribute to University goals in research, teaching and learning. To ensure effective
coordination, recording and reporting of these activities we are seeking a highly organised and capable team player.

Library's Project Management Framework and maintain a project register including regular reporting against milestones, issues and
achievements.
In addition to the more formal projects and programs you will also provide support for other initiatives such as community programs,
