Prescribed Textbooks

The library provides access to copies of the prescribed textbooks, whether to borrow or use in the library.

MultiSearch

The library discovery system MultiSearch can be found here.

Referencing

Referencing is an integral part of tertiary study. Students must acknowledge their sources of information and credit them where appropriate. Becoming familiar with and understanding the importance of referencing is a key to academic success.

Different subjects use different referencing styles. Ask your lecturer for the name of the style you should use in your assessment task. The most common referencing systems used at SIBT are:

Library staff can provide guidance and assistance with referencing; however, we cannot complete your referencing for you or do a complete check of your references and citations.

Printing and Copying

Printing, scanning, and copying facilities are available to current students using a current SIBT student card.

Student print accounts are autoloaded with credit every session for both printing and copying. If required credit can be topped at the library desk or at SIBT administration. Printing credit is non-refundable and non-transferable. Please note unused credit does not roll over.
