    This is a place where you can find information for books, add book details - ratings, comments etc, organise and sort book collections, share information with others and more. I find it very useful and I am sure it would be for any library user.

    The Australian Bureau of Statistics publishers 'Year Book Australia' a useful source of Australian Statistical Information as well as information about the Australian Government. Excellent site to refer to students. If you prefer the print version, Year Book Australia should be available at your local public library.

Home - Trove - 5 views

    Trove is a discovery experience focused on Australia and Australians. It supplements what search engines provide. If you are researching in the fields of the social sciences, literature, local or family history, or need inspiration for your school assignment, then this is the tool for you. It is the most amazing FREE site and I use it to find so many things "Australian".

Over 5000 historical Novels Listed by Time and Place - 1 views

    This is a really handy website which I use both personally and professionally. I am really keen on the idea of using fiction to help teach history. I think reading historical fiction helps bring history 'alive' and stimulates an interest in finding out more. Even if the book is not 100% correct it doesn't matter as discovering this is part of the learning process and encourages critical thinking.
