Library News

We are online to help! The ‘Click here to chat with a librarian’ button on our library website is a quick way to ask a question about resources, research or education. A new afterhours chatbot will now guide you to the most relevant FAQ or you can leave a ticket for follow up as soon as a librarian is available.

Planning face-to-face team learning or training? Need a space? The Clayton library has a group education room available which can accommodate up to 12 people. You can now book online -- check availability here and make a booking (subject to approval).

In addition to meeting rooms, library spaces offer computers for employees needing a quiet place to work or study, e.g. while hot-desking across campuses. Spare headphones are available from library enquiry desks.

All library computers have access to Monash Health software and EndNote for referencing. Specialist research software Nvivo and SPSS is available on signed PCs. More information about what the library has is available on our website.

Library Favourites

Using retracted articles can degrade your research and lead to incorrect findings. Our BrowZine e-shelf for all Monash Health journals now integrates data from Retraction Watch, making it easier to spot and avoid withdrawn studies both within BrowZine and while browsing online.

BrowZine is integrated with web browsers within the Monash Health network to connect you with articles in just one click from websites and databases. Set up the same access on home devices by installing the LibKey Nomad browser extension. See the instructions in this one-page overview of how to access journal articles.

In celebration of International Nurses Day on 12th May: 

  • ClinicalKey for Nursing has re-launched their Resources for Nurses page, bringing together resources for self-care, wellbeing and learning.
  • Our posters for nurses and midwives highlight key journals and eBooks, with QR codes for easy access. Print them out for your tearoom or unit noticeboard or contact the Library team to request a printed copy.
  • Bookmark our nursing and midwifery guides for quick access to all of the above, plus ACORN Standards and more.
