Library Catalogue
In your portal you have a personal link to the School Library Catalogue - just look for "My Library". You can access this from anywhere (school, home, Auburn Library, a shopping centre with wireless) on the internet.
To find books on a particular subject, just type the keyword in the search box. Make sure you spell it correctly or it will not work.
To find a special book or author, click on the "Titles" or "Names" tab and type the title of the book or surname of the author.
The search will return a list of books, videos, posters, websites and other resources in the library. Click on the tabs or the resources to find out more (and where they are). If you find a useful website, click on the URL and it will take you directly to the website.
