Moratorium on Overdue Library Books

The school library is welcoming any old library books that may be hidden in the rooms of our College students. Please feel free to return them even if they have been at home for a couple of years! It will help keep class sets of textbooks complete, and maintain our range of  fiction and non-fiction books in hardcopy. 

E-Books

Supplementing the College library's hard copy book collection,  students have access to over 2000 e-books (electronic books) through our online library catalogue.

It is as easy as going to the following link:

https://library.arm.catholic.edu.au/oliver/home/browse/list 

This can also  be found on the College webpage in the 'student links' dropdown menu. The Catalogue is called 'Oliver'.

If they are not already logged into the CSO Portal, there will be a prompt to login to the CE-NET Authentication Portal (CSO Firewall). Students can either search 'e book' in the search box or, search a book directly.
