Do you wonder what Library eResources are?

Just for you! - our currently enrolled students and currently employed staff.
SWSi Libraries have made available vast amounts of information to help with your TAFE learning programs.
These are contained only within our Library paid subscription-only databases.
Contact the Library for the User ID and password for this year.

Google can’t help you find any of this information!
Only through the eResources link from the SWSi Libraries web page can you get access.
This is another world of information! This is the hidden web!
Contact the Library today!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012.

The Lidcombe and Chullora Library staff would like to wish the community of staff and students a Happy New Year. We are looking forward to working with you all in 2012, and hope that you are enjoying the remainder of your holidays.

To new and continuing students:
Bring your TAFECard to the library at all times.
At the beginning of Semester 1, also bring your enrolment form, and/ or receipt of course payment when coming into the library. We may need to verify that you are enrolled, to help you update your TAFECard to be eligible to use the library resources.

To teaching staff:
Please remember that library staff are available to do group library tours and training sessions on the tools and resources available at Lidcombe and Chullora Libraries.
To arrange a tour, please speak to library staff.
Library tours are a great way to introduce new students to the resources available at their fingertips!
Library tours are also a great way of reminding continuing students of the facilities that are available, especially those which help with their course and subject areas!

Have your say!

Help the Library to buy recreational DVDs and CDs that you will enjoy!

Staff and students are encouraged to let library staff know of any movies or music that they would like to see the library buy for the collection.

Have your say!

The buying of these kinds of resources generally only happens every year or so, but we always have a running list, so be patient and we will get to your suggestion.
