Our journals
http://adt.caul.edu.au/The aim of the Australasian Digital Theses (ADT) program is to establish a distributed database of digital versions of theses produced by the postgraduate research students at Australian universities. The theses are available worldwide via the web. The ideal behind the program is to provide access to, and promote Australian research to the international community.
ELUDAMOS is an international, multi-disciplined, biannual e-journal that publishes peer-reviewed articles that theoretically and/or empirically deal with digital games in their manifold appearances and their sociocultural-historical contexts. ELUDAMOS positions itself as a publication that fundamentally transgresses disciplinary boundaries. The aim is to join questions about and approaches to computer games from decidedly heterogeneous scientific contexts (for example cultural studies, media studies, (art) history, sociology, (social) psychology, and semiotics) and, thus, to advance the interdisciplinary discourse on digital games.
Game Studies mission is to explore the rich cultural genre of games; to give scholars a peer-reviewed forum for their ideas and theories; to provide an academic channel for the ongoing discussions on games and gaming.

Computers & Graphics is dedicated to disseminate information on research and applications of computer graphics (CG) techniques. The journal encourages articles on: 1. Research and applications of interactive computer graphics. We are particularly interested in novel interaction techniques and applications of CG problem domains. 2. State-of-the-art papers on late-breaking, cutting-edge research on CG. 3. Information on innovative uses of graphics principles and technologies. 4. Tutorial papers on both teaching CG principles and innovative uses of CG in education.

Latest acquisitions - the Economist
AIT has now subscribed to the Economist. Founded in 1843, and based in London, the Economist vies with the Wall Street Journal as one of the most important news sources for followers of business, economics and world news in general.
The Economist states that "is not a chronicle of economics." Rather, it aims "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress." [The Economist, 2006].
Not just for our business students, this subscription makes available all the content, both current and historical, of one of the worlds great news-magazines.
Library introduction - 4th March
On Friday 4th of March there will be introductory sessions on how to use the library. Any current students are welcome to participate, although this session is mainly for new students.
Areas covered will include:
Each session runs for about 30 minutes and we will be running them in groups of eight people, on the hour from ten am onwards.
If you'd like to add your name to the list, please contact Sonia, the librarian.
