The site has been described as a mash-up of “Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn” that includes “profile pages, comments, groups, job listings, and ‘like’ and ‘follow’ buttons”. Members are encouraged to share raw data and failed experiment results as well as successes, in order to avoid repeating their peers’ scientific research mistakes.

The Tom Ludowici Bioethics Collection is housed in the Avondale Sydney Library and is one of the largest single collections of bioethics books in Australia. Click here for a more detailed history of the collection.
Subject areas covered in the collection include:
The major topics in the collection are medical and nursing ethics, abortion, euthanasia, genetic engineering (including cloning), and stem cell research.
As of 2016 there were 7,500 books and 8 print journal subscriptions in the collection.
The Print Reserve Collection contains items that are in high demand by students and have been placed on a restricted loan. They are located behind the Loans Desk. You will need your student card to borrow them.
Reserve items may be borrowed in 2 hour blocks during the day for use in the Library only. Only 2 items at a time can be borrowed. Overnight loans may be borrowed from 4pm Sunday to Thursday and 12 noon on Friday for the weekend. All Reserve loans are due back 9am on weekdays or 2pm on Sunday.
Reserve items should be returned to the returns pad, rather than placing them in the returns box to avoid fines for late return. When the Library is closed you may return Reserve items in the after hours chute.
On both campuses, fines are calculated at $1.00 per hour or part thereof for late return of Reserve materials.
