 O’Reilly for Higher Education

Focused on Technology and Business, the O’Reilly for Higher Education platform includes more than 45,000 book titles and more than 30,000 hours of video across multiple learning formats. Patrons are provided with a robust digital learning environment that is designed to support graduates’ employability and transferable skills.

Academic Video Online

Academic Video Online is the most comprehensive video subscription available to libraries. It delivers over 70,000 titles spanning the widest range of subject areas including over 750 Australian and New Zealand relevant videos and 12,000 Vocational relevant videos.
