The old library in building C7A (which has since been repurposed as a student support and study space) closed in July 2011, and the new library in building C3C became fully operational on 1 August 2011. The new library was Australia's first university library to possess an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS). The ASRS consists of an environmentally controlled vault with metal bins storing the items; robotic cranes retrieve an item on request and deliver it to the service desk for collection.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.library.mq.edu.au/newlibrary/newlibnews1.pdf |title=New Library on the Move – New Library News No. 1 |publisher=Macquarie University |date=29 November 2010 |access-date=28 December 2012 |author=Brodie, Maxine |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130410034339/https://www.library.mq.edu.au/newlibrary/newlibnews1.pdf |archive-date=10 April 2013  }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.announcements.mq.edu.au/library/your_library_on_the_move | title=Your Library on the Move | publisher=Macquarie University | date=30 May 2012 | access-date=28 December 2012 | author=Krige, Brendan | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226142434/http://www.announcements.mq.edu.au/library/your_library_on_the_move | archive-date=26 February 2017 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
