Library orientation

RMIT University Library connects you to a vast range of resources and study support services to help you unlock your potential.

Let’s have a look around.

To make studying easy from anywhere, anytime, you can access millions of e-journals, e-books and print resources through Library Search. Unlike general search engines, LibrarySearch includes relevant information for your course from quality sources; just what you need for completing assignments!

Another great way to find resources is to use our Subject Guides. They're created by expert librarians and link you straight to the best e-books, e-journals and databases in your area of study.

Now that you’ve found the resources you need, check out the Learning Lab where you can test your knowledge and build  your study skills. It’s full of tutorials and activities to help with your assignments. Finding study support is easy.

Use the ‘Ask the Library’ online chat to talk to live library staff who can help you find the information you need.

For personalised help, book a consultation with our expert study support staff.  You can also connect with peer mentors; student volunteers who understand exactly what it’s like to be where you are now.

The Library isn’t just online! Come in to browse and borrow physical resources. When you’re looking for a place to focus, we offer shared study spaces.

You can also book private  study rooms to collaborate with classmates. Our study spaces have long opening hours and offer access to computers, Wi-Fi, photocopying and printing.

If you have questions while you’re here, look for the friendly person with the ‘Ask me’ apron.
