General Reference Resources

Included here are two very useful resources to help you work your way through this research guide.

In the library: The Macquarie dictionary

Delbridge, A. (Ed.). (2001). The Macquarie dictionary. Macquarie Library.

The first is a resource that will always be your friend when you are stuck trying to figure out a difficult sentence or a strange word. Yes. You guessed it. The dictionary!

 

Oxford Australian curriculum atlas

Easton, M. & Van Noorden, P. (2014). The Oxford Australian curriculum atlas. Oxford University press.

The second resource is of particular use in this research guide as you will be reading about events and ideas that unfold in Australia and in other places around the world. We all know that pouring over the images on Google Maps is easy and very handy, but there’s also something special about being able to really take your time studying a map without the glare of a screen. If that sounds like something you’d like to experience, try taking a look at the wonderful atlas we have down in the library!
