Website launch 
The Knowledge Centre is pleased to announce the launch of the online library page on the Institute’s website, designed to help members navigate and find the information more efficiently.  
 
There is a newly-created section titled Knowledge Guides (previously Specialist Subject Packs), which includes detailed and up-to-date resources covering key topics of interest. 
 
Members and candidates will also find Australian articles and international articles, (previously called the articles of interest) which include latest news from Australia and around the world.  
 
In addition, the Knowledge Centre has added new features to the page, including:

  • Search our collection - a complete list of all online resources, such as the catalogue of print and audio visual publications and subscriptions, the EBSCO business news and current affairs databases, as well as superannuation and estate planning bulletins
  • Major subject area portals – these portals have been created to allow members and candidates to view key resources by topics such as business management, career development, and taxation. Members will also find details of the latest online free trials from LexisNexis and Thomson.
The new website has been redesigned to meet the needs of members and candidates. The Knowledge Centre team would be pleased to hear whether the new features are useful, or if further improvements that could be made. Please contact the Knowledge Centre on 1800 809 828, or via email at knowledge@charteredaccountants.com.au.  
 
Visit the Knowledge Centre’s online library today.
