Top tips from the Library

It’s our aim to help you be your best student, so you can succeed in your studies. Check out these five tips for getting the best out of ACU Library.

One

Help is available to you whenever you need it, wherever you are. Librarians can help and answer all sorts of questions, big and small:

  • How do I book a study room?
  • Help me find this reading in my unit outline.
  • How do I research for my assignment?
  • Is this article peer reviewed?
  • Please renew my books.
  • Why can’t I access this resource?

Chat with real librarians 24/7 during semester, email or book a librarian. You can also visit your campus library for face-to-face help.

Two

Library guides introduce you to academic databases and other resources that are most relevant to your course. They’re a great place to start when looking for accurate and reliable information.

Three

Referencing is an important part of study at university. Our online referencing guide provides examples in all the referencing styles used at ACU.

Four

Tools for easy access to information. OpenAthens, and LibKey are tools that guide you to the library’s high-quality information even when it’s behind a paywall on the web. You can also use Google Scholar to connect to ACU library resources.

Five

Assessment help and Library basics are web-based information guides that provide a quick introduction to finding scholarly information and using the library.
