Go to intranet.viewbank.vic.edu.au and click on the ‘i’ for Library Search
The library home page is where you can search our catalogue of books and resources. It also has information about reading suggestions, and links to guides and websites to help you study.
We also promote competitions and activities here – as well as on the Library Teams page and on House Teams pages.
In the search box you can search by title, author, series or a word from the book's title. Try ‘One of us is lying’ in series
The red cross means a book is on loan – the green tick means it should be available
You will see ebooks and audiobooks in the results as well as books in the library
If you only want to see the books in the library you can remove the tick on the Include digital items filter by clicking it
Books in the library are organised into genres - you will find One of us is lying in the Crime and Mystery section - look for MCMA (the first 4 letters of the author's surname) on the book spine. Click on the title for more information about the book and it's availability. The see all copies and locations link will show you all the copies and the date books on loan are due back. If the book you want to read is on loan you can place a reserve (more instructions below) - and when a copy is available we will let you know with a Teams message.
The menu at the top of the page has options to help you choose a book to read - Browse lists are netflix-style lists (when you are signed in these will be personalised based on your borrowing. You can browse Book reviews written by other students - or look at our Reading lists (themes like ‘book to screen’ and ‘If you liked...’ lists). You can also fill out our Book Finder form and we will send you some suggestions - and if there is a book we don't have that you would like to read let us know - many of the new books we buy for the library are student recommendations. If we buy a book you recommend we will reserve it for you so you can be the first one to read it.
