Academic literature
Library Search
You can use Library Search to search for general academic resources.It is particularly useful for finding books and journals but you can also use it to find individual journal articles.
Subject databases
The following academic databases are powerful tools which you can use to search across the literature for your subject area. The databases hold information about scholarly works, mostly journal articles and book chapters, and in many instances will link you through to a digital version of the full text. They will allow you to do a more in-depth and focused search compared to Library Search.
