Welcome new students for 2008!

The basics:

• Your Monash ID card lets you borrow from all eight branches of the Monash University Library.

• www.lib.monash.edu is your access point to the catalogue and online resources. These resources can also be accessed via the library tab of the my.monash portal.

• Your Monash Authcate account gives you access to online databases, journals and books (If you have not done so, register for an Authcate account).

• Your ‘Library user’s guide’  is a handy credit-card sized tool you can keep for easy reference to library information.  It tells you how much and where you can borrow as well as contact information for library services.

• Library staff are here to help. You can get help in person, online, via ask.monash or over the phone. Find out more about help using the library.

What to do first:

1. Get your ID card – a ‘Library user’s toolkit’ should be given to you with your ID card.. (If not, present your ID card at the library information desk to obtain one.
2. Register for a Monash computer account so you can access library resources.
3. Familiarise yourself with the library by taking a library tour or class.

On-campus students:

Take a library class or tour during orientation week. Getting to know your library now will help you out when it comes to “crunch time” and that first assignment is due. Use the library’s online class booking system to pick a class and time that suits you.

Off-campus students:

Familiarise yourself with library services for off-campus students. If you are located outside of the Melbourne metropolitan area, you can Free-call 1800 331 194 to find out more. Try to get to a library class or tour at your nearest campus.
