EBooks and Audiobooks

Given the overwhelming response by students, we are delighted to announce that we will be continuing our Audiobook subscription with ePlatform into 2019. ePlatform is a fantastic resource with over 1000 eBook and 600 Audiobook titles on offer. Loans are for two weeks and return automatically and, unlike our print collection which we recall at the end of the year, ePlatform is available throughout the Christmas holidays.

ePlatform can be accessed from the ‘eBooks’ button on the library homepage:

Compass > ‘Star’ > Resource Centre > eBooks

You can sign in with your school username and password. To enhance your reading experience, download the ePlatform app from the Apple, Google or Windows store for free, which turns your device into an eReader and makes signing in easier. Check it out today!

A+ Digital Library for VCE – subscriptions to the Nelson A+ Digital Library which holds study notes and exam questions for most subjects. This is available via the Resource Centre homepage: Compass > ‘Star’ > Resource Centre > A+ Digital Library

VCE English Resources - digital study resources for all VCE and EAL novels. To access: Compass > ‘Star’ > Resource Centre > VCE English Resources

Automated Reminder Emails

We are excited to announce the launch of automated reminder emails for overdue books this Term. Emails will be sent to students two days before their book is due, then at three days and 14 days overdue. After 14 days overdue, library staff will begin contacting parents. This is a huge improvement from the previous manual system.

Just a reminder that library loans are for two weeks only and students are expected to renew or return their books after this time. Whilst we don’t charge overdue fines, if your book is long overdue you will need to pay for a replacement.
