Virtual Reference Library

Tired of being google-eyed? Fed up of being led on a virtual wild-goose chase? Need information that is relevant, reliable and credible? Then it sounds like you need to use the ERL “Virtual Reference Library”. By following the link from our homepage, it's found under Online Information, you now have access to over 200 of the world’s leading reference books. Available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, fully downloadable and free to print out whether you are at home or school. All you need is a PC connected to the internet and your library card number – the number beginning “20023” on the back of the card.

The subjects covered are Film, History, Literature, Nation and World, Religion, Science and Social Science.

Are you a VCE student studying Literature? Then check out the VRL – there are hundreds of study guides covering drama, novels, short stories and poetry. Study guides to the complete works of Shakespeare are included!

Are you studying History? Then have a look at the history books in the VRL – there you’ll find such treasures as the Renaissance: An Encyclopedia for Students and the Terrorism Reference Library.

Need to know who Piaget was and why he is so important in education today? Then you need to look at Psychologists and Their Theories for Students (yet another diamond title available in the VRL) where you’ll find 28 pages of quality information on the beret wearing Swiss psychologist.

Once again it is all FREE with an ERL library card. Do yourself a favour and check it out – especially if you are a VCE student….. or you have one in the house!

Cheers, Paul
