How do I use the catalogue?

Use the #quickfind search tool to search the library for books, articles, dvds and more.

Basic Searching

For a Basic search you can enter your topic words (keyword/s) in the search box and hit the Search button.

  • The search results will be displayed showing brief details, including location and availability details.
  • Click on a title to display full details including location and availability details.
  • If the item is a print item, take note of the Call Number as this is where you will find the item on the shelves.
  • Also note any Access Details to see if there are copies available for loan.
  • You will need to log in to access online resources such as databases, streamed videos and e-books (see below)

Logging in to access online resources

Borrower ID = studentnumber@tqstudent.edu.au
Password = your Connect/network password

TIP: If your search results amount to more than 50, try refining the results (on the side of the screen) eg. change the date range, select the subject.
