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!
