Scholarly collections
The Eastern Resource Centre (currently called the ERC Library) will provide accommodation for significant collections spread across multiple floors:
- Reference Collection targeted to meet study and research needs in Engineering and Education, on level three
- High demand items used by students in Education and Engineering (this includes reserve and short-term loan items)
- Open-access collections, relevant to study and research in the Education & Engineering faculties, on levels four and five
- Multi-disciplinary Media Collection (this includes lots of DVDs), on level four
- Open-access and multi-disciplinary Research Collection, on levels one and two
- Map Collection and facilities (this includes access to ABS and other GIS resources), on level two.
All students using the planned Eastern Resource Centre will also have access to computing resources that will enable you to discover an amazing diversity of information online:
- Journal and newspaper articles
- eBooks
- Encyclopedias and reference sources
- Conference papers
- Standards
- Statistics
- Industry information
Students from across the University will be welcome in these new facilities.
You might be seeking out key text books for your subject, or beginning your assignment research on a new topic.
The Eastern Resource Centre will provide telephone and online enquiry services if you are working at home.
You will also be able to get face-to-face help navigating collections that are in print and online formats.
We would encourage you to talk to a librarian in the Eastern Resource Centre about approaches to finding relevant information.
