LIBRARY SERVICES

North Coast Institute libraries provide library and information services to TAFE NSW students and staff. Our library staff assist with locating information resources to support TAFE teaching and learning, and provide training in information skills to empower independent learning. NCI libraries provide a quiet place to study, and access to photocopiers, computers and audiovisual equipment. A range of services are now also available via the Internet - check the other headings on this site.

Who can borrow
All currently enrolled TAFE NSW students, and all staff can borrow in person from NCI Libraries, on presentation of their TAFEcard. 
Community members may join their local NCI library on payment of a charge. Contact the library for the current charge and conditions of borrowing.

Facilities 
Typically NCI libraries have individual and group study facilities, access to audiovisual equipment, coin or card-operated photocopiers and student access computers. 

Resources
Campus libraries contain a wide variety of resources including books, periodicals, videos and other print and audiovisual resources. The library catalogue lists resources at all TAFE NSW libraries. It is available online. 

NCI libraries subscribe to a range of electronic databases via the Internet. There is also a range of E-Books available online.

Reference services
Every library has qualified librarians who can assist with information searches. Lengthy reference assistance is only available to support TAFE teaching and learning; however all library users are offered basic assistance in using the resources on the library shelves. 

Computers & Internet access
Computers in NCI libraries offer access to CD-ROMs, the Internet,and software applications. Internet and application software access is restricted to TAFE NSW students and staff. Some computers require prior bookings, and time limits may apply.
