EndNote Version X4 is now available! Upgrade to the latest version from the Library Homepage. No more disks. No more permission forms. Just a couple of clicks and you will have the latest version on your laptop. Your current records will still be there after the upgrade. Click the EndNote button on the Library Hompage and start now! Version X4 is compatible with Office 2010, but as it is still very recent there may still be problems with some of the functions. Double check your entries before submitting your assignment just to make sure everything is correct.

Books are like lobstershells – we grow out of our old favourites and graduate to the new as we get older. Avondale College is offering HSC students the opportunity to get a head start on tertiary education by opening their library, with its wealth of resources, to local High Schools. Read more about this exciting program at the link to Services for … High School Students on the left hand side of the library homepage.
