Research Assistance
Library staff are always happy to assist individual students in the use of Library resources. It is important that students come to the Library with a specific reference inquiry in mind. If you have not thought through your topic, it is more difficult for Library staff to be of assistance. Library resources, including books, periodicals, reference materials, computer and audio‐visual resources, are available and can be introduced by the Librarian.

Bibliographies/Referencing
The Referencing page in The Student Organiser is of great assistance to students. Students requiring further assistance with the writing up of Bibliographies for research assignment may ask the Librarians for guidance. Computer print‐outs of books held in Padua Library on a particular topic are also available on request.

Resources
As well as a book stock of 20,000 at Mornington and 9,000 at Rosebud, the Library has a number of resources available online. These resources include newspaper and magazine indexes – E‐library, the Age and Newsbank, and the World Book Encyclopedia online. The online resources can be accessed from your home computer. Instructions for access are in the student organizer. Mornington library also holds a collection of talking books and DVD’s which can be borrowed.
