Verse Mag's Blak Out issue has launched
The Blak Out edition of Verse Magazine, showcasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student excellence, has hit the stands! Find it on campus or online.

Head Editor Tabitha Lean leads a team of Aboriginal student editors and contributors to launch Blak Out, which was first imagined as a way to create a decolonised and dedicated space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island students to share their knowledge, opinions, art, craft and experiences with a wide audience of people both within the Indigenous student cohort and outside of it.

The catalogue also allows you to set up email alerts for your saved searches.
Personalise your results
Another useful feature is the personalise option, which allows you to set up subject filters to personalise your search results to your research or teaching discipline.
