What's Been Happening 
at UQL C yberschool? 
The University of Queensland Library recently 
underwent a restructure so UOL Cyberschool is now 
attached to the Client Services section of UQ Library. 
The year has been extremely busy so far with 
Cyberschool staff taking over 54 classes and tours to 
date this year. 
UQL Cyberschool has. for the first time, been involved 
with secondary school students who are studying 
a UQ subject as part of the Enhanced Studies 
Program (ESP). The Enhanced Studies Program 
provides students with an opportunity to extend their 
knowledge and skills by completing one university 
subject during Year 12. Cyberschool staff contacted 
course co-ordinators for assessment outlines and 
offered research classes for interested students in the 
recent Easter school holidays. The class included an 
introduction to UQ Search and focussed on keywords. 
truncating, journal and database searching. Students 
then used these skills to find resources for upcoming 
university assignments.

Cyberschool staff were also involved in the Solid 
Pathways Program. The project aims to support 
high achieving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander 
students and students in out-of-home care to facilitate 
continued academic success and encourage university 
study as a post school option. Well known Aboriginal 
author Anita Heiss ran a creative writing workshop at 
St Lucia for senior students, as part of a recent three 
day camp hosted at UO. Cyberschool staff supported 
this workshop by providing physical assistance on the 
day and access to web based resources.
