State Library

I was unsure about the class’s timetable and activities at that time so I couldn’t join the crew to visit the State Library.
But as an international student, that place has been one of my favourite place in Melbourne. I used to stay there for almost all day for the whole week before VCE exams to be able to study in a perfectly silent and comfortable enviroment.

After looking up , I found out that The library holds over 2 million books and 16,000 serials, including the diaries of the city’s founders, John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner, and the folios of Captain James Cook, R.N.. It also houses the original armour of Ned Kelly.
Im also thankful that I have learned how to look for what I want at the library, with the help of one of the older student there , 2 years ago. He showed me how to effectively search for books and articles, and back then I was struggling with choosing my major for Uni, and browsing some of the articles and newspapers about Media and especially Film Making and Photography has triggered me to enroll to this course.And so for Brief 1 and my other class’s assignment, researching for references at the State Library has been really straight forward and successful.
