In educating students for a rapidly changing world we believe it is important for them to learn how to use available learning technologies to enhance their educational outcomes. The Library subscribes to educational on-line databases that include the Australia/New Zealand Reference Centre and World Book Online. Subject Web links are selected to support the curriculum and topics of interest. The Library can also provide assistance with research skills, assignment preparation and Internet use.
The Library uses the Softlink Oliver Library Management System which is very efficient and user-friendly. Oliver is most suitable for the R-12 student community and can retrieve item information by author, subject, title and various other keywords, and displays images of the items
