Student computer laboratory

A student computer laboratory containing more than thirty computers is linked with the university's computer network. Students are able to undertake a wide variety of tasks in this facility. They may range from simple searches of the university's library system, to the interactive use of legal expert system databases, to researching highly specialised information systems.

The faculty has both dedicated law CD-ROM facilities and access to all other CD-ROMs that are on the university network system. Students are encouraged to make full use of databases ranging from the Australian Legal Literature Index (ALLI) via INFO ONE and SCALE representing State and Commonwealth primary materials to databases such as (AGIS) containing up-to-date Attorney-General's information.

Library staff conduct regular introductory classes for students, and further assistance is available from the laboratory supervisors. Availability of word processing for students is regarded as an integral part of the computer facility which enables students to use word processing as part of the research process. It also allows students to present their work in a professional manner.
