Victorian Newspapers available online

A new way to access ‘old’ newspapers
Public Libraries Victoria Network and the State Library of Victoria have been working together to digitise 19th and early 20th century Victorian newspapers.
The current focus is newspaper titles covering 1914 to 1918 to commemorate the centenary of World War 1.
Digitised Victorian newspapers can be found on the National Library's Trove platform at:

Online Database  Training Wiki

    Moonee Valley Library Service has produced a wiki for staff to improve their knowledge of online databases and to be able to answer reference inquiries confidently using the databases.  It includes 10 weeks worth of databases to review - approx 30 minutes per week.  Moonee Valley has the highest per capita use of databases in Victoria so they are obviously doing something right!
