Resource Centre
As we navigate this time through lockdown it is even more important to enrich our learning, expand our vocabulary and take some welcome journeys through reading. To ensure the College community has sustained resources for reading and research we are so very fortunate to have access to the ACEN Member Collection which is a digital database of both fiction and non-fiction books, for all ages, in print and audio formats.
All members of the College community are able to access and download to a range of devices, books from the ACEN Member Collection, in audio and print format, to enjoy reading for pleasure and to assist with research and projects.

In addition to the ACEN Member Collection, there is a wide range of links to resources through the Resource Centre Web Page Portal on the Landing Page on all Kildare student and staff devices. Also on the Landing Page, is the Newspaper portal providing access to the Age, Sydney Morning Herald and Australian Financial Review newspapers.
