We’re committed to delivering free access to an eresources collection that is current, relevant and complements the Library's physical collections.
We provide access to an extensive range of eresources, including:
- local and international newspapers
- full text journals
- databases
- ebooks
- magazines
- digital images from our unique heritage collections.
The eresources collection covers a wide range of subjects, including:
- family history
- health
- history and biography
- humanities
- literature and language
- science and technology.
Before we subscribe to a new eresource, we often conduct a trial and evaluate the eresource to ensure that it meets the needs of the people of New South Wales. We then review each eresource annually to make sure the collection remains relevant.
