Just a reminder of what a tour of the Library can offer students and teachers!


The Library is able to offer a range of services to students and teachers, from short general orientation tours, to workshops explaining the steps involved in a major research assignment. By conducting these sessions to students and staff we can explain to you the diverse information sources the library has on offer.

In addition to our physical collection, you have access through the Internet to our catalogue and databases, whether you are in the Library, office or at home. Through the catalogue everyone can search Miller College Library or expand your search to include every TAFE Library in NSW.

The Library’s databases give staff and students access to many full text articles covering a wide range of subjects: health, current affairs and general interest.

The Library has developed a range of Wiki sites to support the courses and students at Miller Campus. The Library wiki pages assist in the delivery of flexible learning options, by linking students and classes to sources of quality information.

To learn more please contact Library Staff for your tour of our resources – general or in-depth tours. You can call the library on 9825 7414 or email Miller Library.
