I have decided to change direction with this week's blog subject.
The library has a very wide range of resources for both students and staff. For those who like digital technology, we can accommodate them as well. The following resources are available as an ebook as well as a hardback resource.

In the drier parts of Tasmania, graziers raise sheep partly using the native vegetation on their extensive runs. People, Sheep and Nature Conservation explores this use of the run country and the interaction of graziers, sheep and nature. Other topics covered include how graziers manage the runs for profit, how they feel about nature and manage their properties for conservation, how sheep interact with native animals and plants on the runs, and the implications of the ongoing loss of run country to clearance and inundation.
