Learning Programs

The State Library offers a regular program of learning sessions to introduce users to the Library's resources and collections, and to enhance research skills. For scheduled dates and more detailed descriptions of sessions currently on offer, please see What's On.

Getting Started

These sessions show participants how to become efficient and independent users of the Library's collections, services and catalogue.

Research Skills

These sessions assist users in developing skills to systematically locate a variety of information in print and electronic formats.

Databases

Our series of database sessions assist in the development of core skills to search the databases held in the Library and accessible from home. Subject specific and fundamentals sessions are offered.

Collections

Orientation sessions are offered by the Library's specialist staff to introduce and familiarise new users the range of items and services offered in some of the Library's specialist reading rooms. Orientations are currently available for the Newspaper Collection and Genealogy Centre.
