Resources for a sustainable future
As South Australia’s leading research- intensive institution, the University of Adelaide continues to accelerate transitions towards sustainability with investment in research that has a measurable impact.
Our goal is research that builds sustainable pathways and addresses complex challenges associated with climate change, food and water security, biodiversity, health, and housing.
Central to increasing our capacity to produce cutting-edge research is the Barr Smith Library.
A diverse and accessible collection of physical and digital resources is essential in supporting more than 21,000 learners and researchers each year, and invaluable to setting up our University and community for success.
The Barr Smith Library offers a range of high-quality resources to support academics and research students throughout the research lifecycle. Each year it raises much- needed funds to purchase key research resources and continue to be a gateway to knowledge. This would not be possible without the help of our community.
We are currently raising funds to secure a new resource from Wiley Digital Archives titled Environmental Science and History. With a focus on the critical aspects of environmental science, subjects include ecology, biodiversity, deforestation, fisheries and climate change.
Published in 2023, Environmental Science and History encompasses tracing the impacts of human activity on the natural world, and enables these impacts to be researched and analysed through documents, images, data, maps and photographs.
