Digital Library News Update 2

Updates to existing collections...

EBL (Ebook Library) continues to grow...
From humble beginnings in 2006 when the Library provided access to 10 ebook titles from EBL, we now have access to over 700 titles in this collection.
Access via eBooks page.


Informaworld becomes Taylor & Francis Online
The previous Informaworld site has had a face lift and is now called Taylor & Francis Online. This database supports the humanities and social sciences. Access via Databases page.


Informit Indigenous Collection
The Informit Indigenous Collection brings together a broad range of Indigenous research resources that span Indigenous traditions around the world. These resources address both contemporary and historical issues within Indigenous studies encompassing anthropology, community development, cultural studies, economics, education, health, history, human geography, law and land rights, literature, politics and policy making, (post)colonial studies, psychology, race studies, sociology and visual and performing arts.

Theatre in Video
Theatre in Video has moved to a new platform. This platform contains more than 250 definitive performances of the world's leading plays, together with more than 100 film documentaries, online in streaming video - more than 500 hours in all, representing hundreds of leading playwrights, actors and directors. Please note that all playlists that users have created have been ported to the new platform and will have a new URL to reflect this change. Access via Databases page.


Legal Online
With the move of the remaining content from the old Lawbook interface, Legal Online no longer requires a username & password to access the content off campus. Access via Databases page.


Proquest Religion... now called Religion
