The Royal Adelaide Show

Each year in September, the Royal Adelaide Show is held at the Adelaide Showgrounds on Goodwood Road, Wayville.

The show started many years ago as an Agricultural show, and has developed into a large community event where businesses demonstrate their wares, and all sorts of products are showcased.

Other big parts of the show are Sideshow alley, woodchopping, the dog and cat pavillion, children's farmyard, and other animal displays, such as pigs, cows and poultry. It really is a time when the country comes to Adelaide! If you are still there at night, you can enjoy the arena events and fireworks displays!

We really suggest you make some time to visit the show and have a carefree and relaxing day!

Returning Library books when out on placement

Hello Everyone,

Good luck on your clinical placement whether it's in the country or in the metropolitan area.

You will learn so many new skills and meet some interesting people.

Perhaps you are wondering what to do with your Library books if you still need them during the next few weeks? Here is a link to some information about returning them while you are away.

Best wishes,

The Rosetta Stone

In August, the Library is trialling a resource called the Rosetta Stone, which assists non-native English speakers to practise their English language skills, including listening, reading and speaking. Some other languages are also included, for example Chinese and German.

To access, please go to the Rosetta Stone and enter the username - Eleanor.Thomas and password - password. We suggest you use the British English option, as this is closest to Australian English. If you are accessing this database on campus, you will need headphones to listen to the sound. You can borrow headphones from the Library's Service Desk. You will also need to select Launch Rosetta Stone without speech features, as this feature is currently not available within UniSA. You may be able to download the speech feature at home.

We would love to hear your feedback on this product.

Regards,
The Blog Team
