LIBRARY

Click here for LIVE Library Catalogue

  The library was established with the opening of St Andrew's in February 1986.

  The first full-time librarian was appointed at the end of 1987. Until that time the library was largely an accumulation of books and periodicals bought by academic staff and donated by other libraries in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia.

  In September 1995 the library moved to its new premises. Since the move, new chairs, study carrels, computer terminals, a serials display stand, reception table and loans desk have been added, custom-made to suit the refined and academic atmosphere of the library.

  The collection currently consists of over 16,500 monographs and 200 periodicals available in English and Greek with specialisation in (Greek) Patristic texts, Eastern Orthodox doctrine and spirituality, and Byzantine Music transcripts.

  The Library has been greatly enriched by the benefaction of the Very Rev. Miltiades Chryssavgis and Presbytera Alkistis Chryssavgis, the late Archimandrite Chrysostomos Vogiatzoglou, and the late Mr Michalis and Mrs Chrystalla Lavithis.

  Borrowing is available to staff and students of the Theological College. Limited borrowing rights exist for staff and students of member institutions within the Sydney College of Divinity. All requests for inter-library loans should be directed to Mr Chris Harvey.

  The new online catalogue - Liberty3 - was installed on 24 August 2006 and now is accessible all around the world.

  General internet access is now also available from two public terminals within the library. Additionally, there are two more terminals which offer general MS Office resources (e.g. MS Word, MS Power Point) with a connected printer.
