For anyone in Melbourne who can't get access to "local" newspapers, the
Maitland Mercury is available on microfilm at the Baillieu Library,
Melbourne University. It's worth checking for other papers as well.

Also, you don't need to be a student to use these facilities, but obviously
students get priority over the general public.

I used this facility a couple of years back - excellent printers etc.
available with copy cards are reasonable rates.
