An electronic journal is much the same as a printed journal, but published electronically rather than on paper. You can use the E-journals link on the Library website to search the e-journals by title, browse the alphabetical list of titles, or browse by subject category.
Use the Online Reference Collection to access a variety of reference resources such as online dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, directories etc.
Most of the Library's electronic resources are only available to University of Tasmania students and staff, so you will need to know your University of Tasmania email username and password to gain access.
Whenever you click on a link to a restricted resource, you will be asked to enter your username and password.
Printed information resources
If you need a chapter from a book or a journal article that the University Library holds in print format, you can request a photocopy using a Flexible Request Form.
Australian copyright legislation restricts the amount that the University Library can photocopy for you. You may request
- one chapter from each book
- one article from each issue of a journal
The copies can be mailed to you, or emailed as an attachment.
Subject Guides
The Subject Guides have been written by librarians to help students find out about resources in their subject area.
