In the context of the current trend towards flexible learning and teaching in Australian universities, a description is provided of a wide range of information services available through Monash University Library. A number of recently introduced initiatives demonstrate the library's commitment to meeting the personal study needs of students whether they are enrolled on or off campus. Some directions for further development of such services are identified as well as issues which may influence the planning of new library information services in an academic environment which provides students with a choice of study modes to suit individual needs.
