Information Resources for Engineering


Entrepreneurship, Commercialisation and Innovation Centre

This page provides information about, and links to, sources of information available in and through the Library, electronically or in print form, in support of ECIC Courses.
Some of you are working from Adelaide, while others are working remotely, but you are all entitled to the services the Library provides. The Library offers a number of specialised services to remote users and for those studying part-time we provide as much access out-of-office hours as the budget allows.

Most of the services can be accessed from your computer where you have an internet link. 
From the icons across the top of the Library home page go to the Library Catalogue or to the Resource Guides for links to the appropriate sites. 
Some electronic sites may be free, but many are purchased by the Library, in which case you will be asked for authentication of your status as one of our students.  The authentication box requires you to use your student number and student PIN.
Print resources may be also be available in a library near you, most libraries now provide electronic access to their catalogues.

The University Library Australia is a national scheme which enables you to register as a borrower at other university libraries.
A reciprocal borrowing agreement in South Australia allows university students to borrow from any of the three University libraries using their student card. A new feature of the Catalogue allows searching across two or all three of the library catalogues for these Universities.

If you have queries, please contact me, Kay Leverett, Research Librarian for Engineering & Architecture.
