Search the Library Catalogue:
It is now very simple to access the Library's catalogue from the comfort of your own desk. Simply click on the following link -
This version of our catalogue lets you SEARCH for materials and check their availability. However, you still need to come to the library or email us if you want to do any of the following:
- check your account to see what items you currently have out;
- see when you need to renew items;
- place a hold on a title;
- find out who currently has a particular title out.
n.b. some computers initially block the link to our catalogue as they see it as a 'pop-up' menu and therefore a possible virus threat. Obviously it is not a virus, so chose to override any blocking actions.

DVDs organised by the dewey/call number (this means titles on similar subjects will be close together)
General Subject and Curriculum Resources:
The Library has gathered together a collection of websites that will help you with your studies. However, in most cases the websites are suitable for both students and teachers.
The resources on this page cover general information needs, such as links to dictionaries and encyclopeadias.
If you are looking for information or a website to help with a particular assignment, a Science project for example, then go to the navigation bar on the left. Below you will find a link to a list of websites.
