International praise for the Dalton McCaughey Library

The British ecumenist and Bonhoeffer scholar, Keith Clements, has recently published a memoir in which he describes a visit he made to Melbourne in 2006, and gives the following mention of the DML.

"It was wonderful to be living next to a good theological library while ten minutes walk away next to Ormond College was the Dalton McCaughey Library, the finest theological library I have ever seen after that in Union Seminary, New York."

Professor Clements' new memoir is Look back in hope: an ecumenical life, published by Resource Publications of Eugene, Oregon. Find it in the Library at JR22 C626 .

Go here for a report on the World Council of Churches website of the launch of Professor Clements' book at the Ecumenical Centre in Geneva in September.

Temporary loss of access to selected ebook titles

UPDATE

The problem seems to be fixed. Please contact library staff if you have trouble accessing any of the ebooks.


The library has temporarily lost access to ebooks from one of our ebook platforms. Unfortunately these ebooks were selected with coursework units in mind. We are trying to rectify the situation as quickly as possible, but please be aware that for most of these titles we also have print copies, often in the Reserve collection, so that borrowers may copy or scan relevant chapters. Online students may contact library staff on 93408888 or offcampus@dml.vic.edu.au to request book chapters to be sent to them (as photocopies or electronically) free of charge.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

The library will be open 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday during the mid-semester break (Monday 25th September to Friday 6th October) except for Friday 29th September, when the library will be closed for the Grand Final Eve holiday.

Extended hours will resume on Monday 9th October and will continue until the end of the exam period (Friday 17th November). The library will be open as normal on Melbourne Cup Day (Tuesday 7th November).

Summer hours (9:00am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday) will commence on Monday 20th November until the start of 1st semester 2018, with the exception of the Christmas-New Year period (exact dates to be announced closer to the time), when the library will be closed.
