To find books on a particular subject, use a keyword search on the library catalogue. For example:
Keyword searching often retrieves a large number of results. You might want to limit your search by adding more words from your keyword list; for example:
Browse through the records retrieved and look at the hyperlinked subject descriptions that come with each catalogue record, e.g.
Aboriginal Australians -- Ethnic identity
Art, Australian -- Aboriginal artists -- Exhibitions
Bark painting -- Australia -- Exhibitions
Artists, Aboriginal Australian
Community arts projects -- Australia
You can then click on a subject description to find more material with the same subject. Note that not all the results will be books; there may be other media such as CDs, DVDs or music scores.
Don't forget that you can have books sent from other branch libraries to your campus for pick-up
Use the library catalogue to search for relevant books, printed versions of journals and newspapers etc.
Items listed in other libraries (Australia and overseas) may be requested by University of Melbourne staff and students via Inter-Library Loan.
