Summon

With Summon, you can quickly search, discover and access reliable and credible Library content - print and electronic books, single articles to entire e-journals, newspapers, theses and more. Once found it's only one step to the full text of articles and ebooks, or finding books on the shelf. You are able to limit your results to peer-reviewed materials, to filter by year and format, narrow by additional subject terms and save, print or email references.

Summon is a good starting point to find material for your research. Search Summon from the Library website, from the student portal or from your smartphone, iPad or personal computer.

Adelaide Research & Scholarship

provides a platform for the collection, organisation, access, annotation and preservation of information in digital formats, as well as digital management of information in physical formats. Its primary focus is on the scholarly output of members of this University, and items of interest to those members (for example the rich resources of Special Collections).

The Digital Resources Management Centre (DRMC)

provides a central point for the digitisation of all copyright text material that is required for teaching purposes. This allows for monitoring of the use of copyright material in digital format, to ensure compliance with Copyright legislation.

Databases

The Library provides online access to over 20,000 scholarly journals, through individual and package subscriptions, to both current and in many cases back years. We also faciliate access to these journals, providing a link resolution service which adds links to citation databases to articles we subscribe to, and also by providing a "proxy" service for access from any location outside of the University.

Exam Papers

aims to make past exam papers available online to students.
