National Library of Australia
I looked up George Swinburne and came upon several items that are very interesting for an insight into George Swinburne’s opinions outside of the Technical College:
• The League of Nations - the hope of the world – address delivered in Adelaide, South Australia, on April 27th, 1926
• Time limit v. monetary compensation – speech September 7, 1905;
• Small arms factory, Lithgow : report [to the Minister of Defence] / by Mr. G. Swinburne Inter-state Commissioner : re-dispute between the management and the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, 1914;
• Murray River Waters and Mallee Frontage Setlement (sic): parliamentary trip of inspection by steam boat from Echuca to Mildura and the Darling Junction, October 17th to 22nd, 1907; trip authorized by Thomas Bent, Premier of Victoria and carried out by George Swinburne
Buzziwig / by Mrs. George Swinburne also came up. It is a children’s book published in 1931 as part of RNB children's literature series
State Library of Victoria
I looked up the State Library of Victoria catalogue and found some entries but the few papers in the collection were listed in the separate manuscripts catalogue. (2 searches)
Swinburne University of Technology
I looked up Swinburne’s catalogue and found the main entries – the Sugden biography, artwork – reference to the G S bust in the Image Bank and a paper, The Boy : His Relation to Industry, a pamphlet written by G S in about 1927. I also found loads of books with Swinburne College of Technology/Institute of Technology as publisher, but nothing to do with George.
Three different types of entries – book; artwork; archival document; one search. Tick
My opinion - VuFind is excellent
Would I have found the same items in the one search in the National Library of Australia catalogue pre VuFind?
