==Fisher Library== [[File:Fisher Library, University of Sydney.JPG|thumb|Fisher Library, University of Sydney. To the left of the image is Fisher North, and to the right is Fisher South.]] Fisher Library is the largest and first branch of the library system, located on Eastern Avenue on the [[Camperdown, New South Wales|Camperdown]] Campus, adjacent to [[Victoria Park, New South Wales, Australia|Victoria Park]]. The Fisher Library is for University of Sydney students and staff. Its collection focuses on humanities, social science and commercial disciplines. The original Fisher Library, in the 19th century, was housed in the Quadrangle in what is presently the Senate Room. A purpose-built Fisher Library was completed in 1908 at the southwest corner of the Quadrangle, with its former reading room now known as MacLaurin Hall. The library was moved to its present location in 1962. Although it appears to be one building, the university classifies it as two separate buildings which are connected by foyer areas on the lower floors. '''Fisher North''' (Building F03) was built in 1962 and holds multiple copies of texts commonly used by undergraduate students of the university. This building also houses two computer labs, the audio and visual collection, the [[microform]] collection, the rare books and special collections section, and the photocopying room. '''Fisher South''' (Building F04) was built in 1967 with copper-clad outer walls. It is an accessible stack library with a larger and more historical collection. This building also houses the [[East Asian]] collection, the University Archives, and silent study desks. Some of the building's space is used by the School of Psychology.
