Free resources at your fingertips

Did you know that all Campaspe Regional Library members have access to a wide range of free online resources that can be accessed from our website www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/library If you would like to use them, either from home, work or school all you need is your library card and access to the internet. You can of course access them at all library branches. What sort of resources am I talking about? It would be an extremely long post to list everything that is available but I will highlight a few things that I think you and your family or workmates may find very useful. We have Encyclopedia Britannica which includes versions aimed at primary and secondary school students. There are two Health information resources, one of them features videos that explain medical problems and terms. A Science resource centre with a range of topics from anatomy to zoology. If you require magazine and journal articles for study/research there are two databases that contain 100s of national and international articles - these can be printed or emailed to yourself for later reference. You can also access an Australian based site which has newspapers including the Age, Herald Sun and magazines like Choice, House and Garden, Womens Weekly just to name a few.If you go to the website as listed above then click on useful links, this will take you to all the resources.
Also a very special resource that we are proud to offer to all library members is the Your Tutor facility which provides students from years 4-12 access to free online tutoring in a variety of subjects every day of the week from 4pm-8pm. Again, you just need a library card, if you don't have one, come in today and join the library - it's free!! If you would like to find our more about these resources please contact your nearest library branch or jump onto the website and check them out. Give us a call on 1300 666 535 if you have any questions.
