Periodicals
The Emerald Secondary College Library subscribes to many periodicals. The library offers teachers a subscription service via email.
By subscribing through the library you will receive an email at each new issue containing a scan of the front cover and contents page/s. You can reply to that email requesting copies of articles which will then be sent to you in the same format, as well as a hard copy into your pigeon hole.
The periodicals available to you are as follows:
Studies of Society & Environment
If there are any periodicals you wish to subscribe to, please see library staff or email.
