Year 12 Library Books and Class Texts
The following English texts are needed to be returned so the following year can make a start on them.
The Outsiders
Macbeth (no fear edition)
The Giver
Hatchet
Any other overdue library books are welcomed back with open arms. No penalties apply.
New Books
The Library regularly purchases new titles. We have been pleased to have so many students borrowing recently thanks to a recent focus on reading for pleasure by our College English faculty. We love hearing what they think of the books they read.
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.
Free access to World Book online!
Students can access World Book Encyclopedia online. The subscription has been covered, so it is free to access for students and staff of the College.
To access:
Via our school website www.oconnor.nsw.edu.au, go to Parent Student Information > Student Information > Oliver. Oliver is the Library catalogue. Once you get to Oliver, the final step is to click or 'Orbit' which is a button at the top right corner and then the link to 'World Book Online'. Happy researching!
