The key Library goals in supporting teaching are:
Faculty librarians are key team members for achieving these goals. They facilitate communication between the Library and each Faculty to match services and resources to academic requirements. Your Faculty Librarian can also provide support and training on information skills; assistance locating resources for teaching; advice on embedding resources and information skills into iLearn subject sites.

To meet copyright and licensing obligations, book chapters and journal articles must be managed by the Library rather than uploaded directly to iLearn. The Library provides a Resource List service that plugs in directly to your subject sites in iLearn.
Resource Lists are a consistent way for students to access and engage with the resources you recommend to them, including textbooks, videos, reports, articles and website links.
Online and streaming video content can be added to your resource lists including licensed Library content as well as video sourced from online sites such as Vimeo and Youtube.
Check out these online guides to using the system.
The Reserve Collections in the Main and Law libraries contain hard copies of materials that are in high-demand to support teaching programs. Items are available to students on short loans of 3 hours. Usually, one copy of textbooks or DVDs is placed in the Reserve Collection with additional copies on 7-day loan.
You can check in Library Search or your Resource List to confirm the availability of items in the Reserve Collection.
In your resource list, you can easily see if the Library already has access to full-text articles or ebooks. When we don't have licensed content for a citation, the Library can digitise one chapter or article, or make 10% of a work available at any one time on behalf of the whole University. When permission has been obtained from the copyright holder, these can also be managed by the Library. In your resource list:
The Resource List Guide for educators includes full details and videos on how to use the service.
If you have not used the Resource List service before, or have other specific requirements, contact your faculty librarian. They can also help identify alternative resources, when copyright prevents digitisation.
If you have any requests for a resource required in an accessible format, please contact us.

The Library aims to enhance lifelong learning and contribute to the development of a 'Unique Bond Graduate' through the teaching of information skills both face to face and hands-on. The Faculty Librarians work with academic staff developing course materials to embed information literacy in to the curriculum. The Library provides:

The Library has developed two self-paced online courses that students can complete and evidence in Beyond Bond. You are also welcome to complete them yourself, or recommend them to your students.
These courses cover digital literacy and core information skills.
The Library has hundreds of thousands of titles either in the collection or in subscription databases. If we don't have something we aim to make it simple for you to request items.
We highly value the input of Bond academics to ensure that the Library's resources stay relevant and focused on Faculty and School needs. If a resource is important to your teaching, professional development or research please recommend it!
For more detailed information on how Library Services manages and develops Library collections at Bond, see the Collection Management and Access Policy.
Smaller one-off purchases can generally be made immediately based on an academic's recommendation, subject to availability.
Any eligible items added to resource lists for teaching, that the Library does not already hold will be considered a purchase request. There is no need to email your Faculty Librarian. Tag the citation either prescribed or recommended, and request Library Review.
New subscriptions are carefully considered based on a number of criteria including demand from staff and students, relevance to teaching, learning and research, and cost.
Library Services maintains a balance of subscriptions that best meet the academic needs of the University. Note that subscriptions require an ongoing financial commitment from limited funds, amongst competing resources.
It's helpful to indicate the subject(s) or program(s) this resource will support, or the reason you feel this resource would benefit teaching, learning or research at Bond, when recommending a purchase.
