There are more than 2 million items in The University of Adelaide Library in numerous collections on several campuses. The best way to find items you want is to use The University of Adelaide Library Catalogue. The Catalogue is computer based so you can use it on the many computers throughout the Barr Smith Library, and from outside the Library including from home. In this tutorial you'll learn how to find books and journals in The University of Adelaide Library, and you'll get an introduction to using the internet.
If you have trouble finding the Catalogue in the Barr Smith Library, then ask for some help at the Research Help Desk, or find me.
Research Skill Development
This tutorial was written with the Australian and New Zealand Institute for Information Literacy standards in mind.

If you want you can find these standards by using the mouse to point and left click on the button below, but you don't have to look at these.

I will make sure that you not only get the correct answers, but that you understand how to keep finding information for yourself in future. You must correctly answer at least 5 of the 6 questions.
