This tutorial often refers to the Library web site which is the key to your search for information in the Library and on the Web. It describes Library service and resources and links to Web resources.

The Library web site is at http://www.adelaide.edu.au/library/ (web page will open in a new window. To return to this tutorial, close the window)

Look at the sections which describe the Library's arrangement and services:

Library A-Z - for details of all services and resources available from the Library
About us - descriptions of the Library's various collections, hours of opening, Library maps etc
Membership and borrowing - how to borrow books, to photocopy etc
Library news - check this regularly for announcements of changes

The Web site also leads to Library and Web materials, through the following which will be described later in this tutorial:

Library Catalogue - the first place to check for printed or electronic resources in this Library and on the Web.
Databases for finding journal articles on a topic.
Resource guides which suggest useful databases and Web and printed reference resources in agriculture and other subjects

The Web site can give answers to questions about Library services and about sources of information. Remember to check it whenever you're in doubt where to start.

Passwords

When you use electronic resources, you will at times be asked for your user name and password.

• User name: your student ID preceded by the letter a (e.g. a1234567)
          Password: the password which appears on your confirmation of enrolment

Make sure you exit fully from from the web browser on University computers.  If you don't, any subsequent external network use on that computer by other students will be charged to your allocation.
