If you are a full-time PhD student the School endeavours to provide you with an office space with a desk and computer while part-time students are generally based at their place of employment or work from home. All students are given free email and web access, including links to all University libraries and their databases.
To organise a desk space:
If you are based in the Edward Ford Building, contact Susan Martinez:
Room 319, Edward Ford Building (A27)
Phone: 9351 4367
If you are not based in the Edward Ford Building see your supervisor to organise space.

Medline, CINAHL, Psychinfo, Social Science Index and other relevant databases are available via the Library webpage if you are connected to the University server. You may also access them, along with other databases, via computers in the libraries. It is also possible to dial-in from your own office computer. The Burkitt-Ford Library has the forms you need to fill in to get access to this service, but you will probably also have to see the computing support staff to make sure your computer is hooked up correctly.
