While the books have already been physically moved into the Store, they have not yet had their location changed in the catalogue. This job will take time and will probably not be completed until the 19th of February.
What does this mean? If you need a book from Store and you cannot place a Hold on it because it has not yet had its location changed, you need to fill in a missing items form and Library staff will collect the book for you.

If you have any problems let me know and apologies for the inconvenience.

A Statistical account of the seven colonies of Australasia (and its later title, Statistical account of Australia and New Zealand) was compiled between 1890 and 1904 by the New South Wales Statistician, Timothy A. Coghlan. The eleven volumes bring together statistics for each of the colonies of Australia and New Zealand and are complemented by analysis and commentary. The publication also includes chapters on political divisions, areas and boundaries, climate, parliaments and defence much like in the current Year Book Australia.

Coghlan’s expressed aim, as stated in the Preface to the first volume, was to ‘exhibit at a glance the position held by each Colony individually, and by the country as a whole, with regard to all matters connected with its moral and material welfare’.

The scanning process allows full-text searching capability once downloaded.

This title adds to a range of historical data which ABS has been progressively adding to its Website, including Demography bulletin which includes detailed population and vital statistics data for the period 1900 – 1971 and Labour reports, covering the period 1911 – 1997. See the full list of titles already available, as well as those which will be available later in the year.

For those of you who don’t know what I am referring to, Google Scholar has automatic Links to QUT Library holdings from QUT IP addresses. For the last couple of months this has not been working and has been sorely missed.
If you are off campus and wish to set up Google Scholar to access this link just follow these steps from Google Scholar;

• Click on Scholar Preferences.
• Type Queensland University of Technology in the ‘Library Links’ section.
• Click Save preferences.
• Start searching with links to your library’s resources (you may need to authenticate yourself to access these resources).

You can select to link to any library you like.

It is hoped that this inspiring and informative inaugural event will commence the revolution and turn the tide on Indigenous Education outcomes.

In addition to the catalogue of  their resources, there are also some VERY useful finding aids.  These cover such areas as biographies, social justice, Stolen Generation and substance use.   http://www.aiatsis.gov.au/library/subject_guides__bibliographies

The language bibliographies provide references for linguistic and cultural information pertaining to individual language groups.  These are very detailed – the bibliography for Jagara/Yuggera is over fifty pages!  http://www.aiatsis.gov.au/library/subject_guides__bibliographies/language_bibliographies
