We have moved!

St George College Library has moved it's blog to the new Sydney Institute install of Wordpress. You can access our new blog at: http://sydneyinstituteonline.net/stglibrary/

First term has rushed by and we are almost at the end of the term. Don't forget to renew your Library items over the vacation period. All loans will continue as usual over the vacation, so if an item falls due during the vacation period, it is your responsibility to renew it by the due date. Don't risk a fine of ten dollar per item by not renewing your items on time.



You can renew your items by phone on 95986311, by coming into the Library personally or on line at http://tafecat.tafensw.edu.au/tafecat.html

The vacation period is :

Monday 14th April to Thursday 24th April Closed for Anzac Day on Friday 25th April.

The Library will be open from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

Inter-library loans

St George College Library provides a free inter-library loan service for currently enrolled St George students and staff. Course related materials can be sourced from other Tafe libraries outside of Sydney Institute.

An inter-library loan takes approximately 5-7 working days to arrive at the library. You can find resources you are seeking by searching the Tafe catalogue (TAFECat), or ask at the circulation desk to organise the items you require. You can have up to two inter-library loans at a time with one renewal on each item. If you wish to renew this must be done before the due date.

Facts on File: Health Reference Centre

St George College Library has subscribed to an additional full text online database. Produced by the Facts on File company the database is called Health Reference Centre and contains thousands of entries in four categories: conditions & diseases, mental health, health & wellness, and body systems. This database will be of particular interest to students of St George College in both the Nursing and Welfare teaching areas, although like all of our online subscriptions it is not limited to a specific group - anyone who is a staff member or student at St George College is welcome to use the database.

The database has unlimited licences so you should never have any trouble getting on (even if your whole class is accessing at the same time) and it can be remotely accessed 24x7 so if you leave your assignment to midnight on a Sunday you can still find the information!
