The following are the key principles underpinning the development of TAFE NSW Library Guides:
- Our guides are curated and support a subject area or library support service
- Our guides provide a range of resources that are current and do not limit access for students
- Our guides are not overwhelming and provide volume of learning material for courses, they are not meant to be used in place of other course material
- Our guides are flexible and agile
- Our guides are available to the public beyond TAFE NSW. We do not create private guides.
Our guides include:
- Library Subject Guides - covering broad subject areas (several courses and qualification levels may be covered by the same guide).
- Higher Education Guides - course guides developed to provide access to resources, and prescribed and recommended content.
- Support Guides - support for our resources and library services.
- FIT Owned Guides - support guides that are maintained by a specific FIT, according to the FIT scope.
- Internal Support Guides - to support the work on Library Guides.
- Promotion and Events Guides - developed by members of the Promotion and Events FIT to support approved state-wide library events.
