Welcome to Flinders University Library!
To help you get settled into University life, the Library is running two Orientation sessions at several times (and locations) throughout Orientation Week. We look forward to hosting students at these events 😊
Finding your textbooks and readings
This session will help you find and understand the textbooks and readings your Topic Coordinator has asked you to read. View a pre-recording of this session here.
Getting to know FLO
This session is run by the Student FLO Help Desk and will provide a quick introduction to Flinders Learning Online (FLO). We’ll give you tips for accessing FLO, show you around the FLO dashboard and a typical FLO topic, and point out essential resources you’ll be accessing through FLO. We’ll cover tips for submitting your assignments and show you how to get help if you need it. View a pre-recording of this session here.
