Where to Start

This website contains a number of resources for youth work educators, researchers and practitioners that become accessible to you once you register using the link on the right hand side of the home page.

Getting Around

Once you have logged in, the left hand side of the page contains categories and links to the content. The uppermost menu gives details about this project and the website. The middle section contains links to article reference lists, categorised by topic, by author and by date. The bottom left menu contains links to external content and resources beyond this website.

Searching and Finding

There are a number of ways to find the content you are interested in.

• The search box on the top right of every page will search the whole site for words or terms that you enter. Common words like 'youth' will return a lot of results, so use the additional search parameters to refine your search results.
• Use the 'Resources for Youth Work Educators' menu to browse the article topics and headings. You will notice that the menu on the left expands to allow you to browse by author or by date, and in some cases by Australian or by Global articles.
• Once you have found a broad topic you are interested in, for example 'Youth Policy', you can use the CTRL F (Win) or CMD F (Mac) shortcut to find an article title on that page that contains your specific search term. This is the quickest way to find what you are looking for.

If you are looking for other resources, the 'External Links' menu may be of use. This contains links to peak bodies, policy documents, training information and ECU library resources as well as other useful information.

Getting Involved

If you would like to contribute to this project, you can Submit an Article by using the link on the right hand side of the page.

Accessibility

The top of the page has options for increasing or decreasing the text size. You may find this useful when browsing the references for specific article titles. The website is formatted to work with screen readers and should be compatible with most mainstream software solutions.
