Update ECOS before S2

Complete your prescribed and recommended resources

Published on the 22 June 2026

Attention Academics:

Please enter your selected prescribed and recommended teaching resources into the ECOS system before S2 commences.

This ensures adequate time for the Library to purchase and process material (note that print items can take up to 8 weeks to arrive).

What the Library needs from ECOS

Library staff have started checking ECOS to compile S2 Prescribed Resources lists for each School. Please provide the following details:

Prescribed resources - compulsory textbooks or information materials that students must access or purchase
Recommended resources – supplementary information material the Library may make available if possible

Why Prescribed Resources Lists matter

Prescribed Resources lists:

Support the undergraduate Defence/ADFA re-imbursement process for Training Officers, noting that only the costs of the compulsory texts will be reimbursed
Ensure equity copies of prescribed/compulsory and recommended resources are made available for students

Library Collection Priorities

The Library prioritises the acquisition of unlimited-user, DRM-free eBooks wherever available.

Support and Assistance

To identify appropriate teaching resources available for use in your course, contact your Liaison Librarian or explore our eTextbook Resources Collections

To recommend a purchase, submit a request to help enhance the Library’s collections
