Welcome to this express guide to using Peninsula Library. We will move quickly through everything
you need to know to get started in the library. If you need to know more, you can attend one
of the library tours during orientation, sign up for a library class, or you can explore
the library website yourself. Peninsula Library is a library for Education, Health Sciences
and Business and Economics. This is the Information Point where you can get help with things like
borrowing, printing, photocopying, and booking group study spaces
This is the Research and Learning Point where you can speak to librarians and learning skills
advisers. They run drop-in sessions for advice on a range of study needs, like exam preparation,
finding academic information, and correct academic writing styles for different types
of assignments. Just want a book? They are located upstairs.
Peninsula library has two collections, Peninsula General where books and DVD's for all faculties
are shelved and the Teaching Materials Collection where picture books, kits and resources used by
Education students are held. From your my.monash portal, you can navigate to Library home page.
Our Search portal on the homepage is where you can seek books, journals and ebooks for
assignments. You can view material on line, or find where it is in the library.
From the Library home page, you can find a link for Students. This is the best place
to get an overview of what we have to offer. I will tell you about some of these things now.

for your subject area, like suitable databases, journals and websites, citing and referencing
styles and subject librarian and learning skills advisors contact details.
