Frequently Asked Questions



Question

My subject outline requires me to read certain books and journal articles, where can I get these books and articles?


Answer

Some books will be available for purchase through the University Bookshop. Your subject coordinator (or lecturer) will have organised with the Bookshop for books to be available. By using the computers and Web at the Access Centres you can connect to the University Bookshop at http://unishop.uow.edu.au
The books relevant to your subject can be ordered through the Web. Should you have any problems with this process, the Coordinator at the Centre will assist you - otherwise contact the Unishop on phone number 42-21-8050.

Books recommended by the lecturer of your subject will be available through the Library located at the Loftus Education Centre Library, the Eurobodalla Shire Council Library in Batemans Bay, and the Bega Valley Shire Council Library in Bega. Recommended texts are usually located in the Reserve Collection of the Library.

Journal articles can be located through the various full-text databases available through the University's Library website at http://www-library.uow.edu.au/. Using this on-line facility you will be able to download and save journal articles on to your own disk. You may decide to print out the journal from your own disk or save the articles so you have an electronic copy instead of masses of photocopied articles.

If you have any problems in relation to Library books, please check first with the South Coast Librarians. Using Library facilities is a skill all new students need to learn and maintain throughout a university career.
