Curtin University Library is embarking on an exciting new chapter. Our Strategic Plan 2026–27 sets an ambitious direction that honours the full spectrum of what a modern academic library offers—from our beautifully refurbished physical spaces to our extensive digital collections, and most importantly, the expertise of our dedicated staff.
As University Librarian, Kylie Percival, notes in the strategy’s introduction, libraries today are far more than welcoming places to study. They’re digital treasure chests filled with rich collections of electronic journals, ebooks and special materials. They’re collaborative hubs where our staff partner with colleagues across the university to advance learning, teaching and research.
This strategic plan is both aspirational and authentic to our values. It focuses on the areas where we can deliver the greatest impact for our students, academic staff and the broader scholarly community. As higher education evolves and technology continues to reshape how knowledge is created and shared, we’re committed to ensuring Curtin Library remains at the heart of campus life—supportive, innovative and accessible to all.
The vision outlined in this strategy reflects the collective expertise, passion, and commitment of our entire Library team. In the coming months, we’ll share the key priorities and initiatives that emerge from this strategy.
