Southern Cross University Library offers a program of information skills instruction that ranges from introductory Library orientation and use of the catalogue through to customised classes on advanced information searching and management skills.

Classes are generally conducted within the campus libraries and content is often tailored to suit particular students' needs. For example, classes can be arranged to target the specific needs of student groups within a discipline. General classes are also offered which are customised where possible for the students who attend.

Staff, postgraduate students and undergraduate students undertaking research-based units may also make appointments with their School's liaison librarian for individual or group consultations.

In addition to training courses, the Library offers a range of online tutorials and guides covering information searching and management skills, as well as an e-mail service which provides individual assistance.
