Welcome to the Library

Whitehouse Institute of Design, Australia is home to the John Henry Library, housed at the Sydney Campus, and Melbourne Campus Library. These libraries specialise in design related publications with a joint collection of over 2500 items which has great meaning for the success of our students and lecturers.

The mission of the libraries is to promote student learning, ensure easy access to information resources, provide a full range of library and audiovisual services and provide trained professional staff to assist students in becoming independent learners. The libraries have been designed to ensure students have access to quiet study areas, as well as spaces that facilitate group projects.

The staff of the Whitehouse libraries are available to provide guidance, support and assistance to students, faculty and independent researchers exploring the collection. On this website you will find guides to the services provided by the libraries and descriptions of the collections.
