We seize the midyear break to do our system upgrades. Search will be offline on 24 June 6-7pm, then may be slow at times til 28 June. Databases, e-journals and online articles will be unavailable on 25 June 9am-1pm. We need to do some work to allow single sign-on, meaning you'll only need to log in once to access our range of e-resources.

Ensure you find the best available information about a clinical question by using the Embase database @Monash_FMNHS bit.ly/2ymyE1w

We're still amazed by the transformation of Caulfield Library. "It’s fitting that a library should be the beating heart of a research-focused university." Let's 'listen' to the project team from John Wardle Architects in conversation with architecture, art and design writer Dylan Rainforth. http://bit.ly/2LVRSNp
