Finding specific resources

Use Library Search to find books (including eBooks) and journal articles on your reading lists or mentioned in lectures or tutorials. 

Otherwise, if you know the specific journal you want, you can find it through Library Search or from the Library's Find an ejournal page: search by the name of the journal and then follow links to the year, volume number and page number of the article you want.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a specific journal, you can search by title or subject at Browzine.

You can also search for a journal article using the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) or PubMed ID:

   Lookup a journal article by DOI or PMID

  

 

Finding resources on a topic

When working on assignments, it is likely you will need to look beyond your unit reading list for information on your topic.

  • Use Library Search by using keywords relevant to your topic.  In Library Search you will find a range of resources, including books, journal articles, audio materials and video
  • Use subject databases to carry out thorough searches on your topic. See the database page of this guide for more information.
