Mon Dec 20 16:31:52 AEDT 2021

Kia ora me nga hararei koa.

I hope this email finds you well and enjoying a well-earned summer break over the Christmas and New Year holiday.  As we begin to wrap up for the year I thought it was timely to email you an update on some of the resources the library has recently acquired, and remind you about some of the services we have on offer to support you and your students as we move into Semester 1, 2022.

The ANU Library has just finalised acquisitions for the year, and some recent databases we have acquired include the following:
