Library Search
When working on assignments, it is likely you will need to look beyond your course reading lists for information.
Library Search is the tool used at Bristol to enable you to search across all our Library resources:
-
The physical books held in our libraries
-
Our Library eBooks and eJournals
-
The articles within the eJournals we subscribe to
-
Open access publications and academic resources
Check out our tutorial on using Library Search effectively to find books, articles and other resources.
Search for a reference
If you have a reference to a publication you can use Library Search to find out if the Library gives you access to it.
- Search for the main author's surname and some keywords from the title.
A good way to widen your research is to follow up the references listed at the end of relevant books or journal articles.
Search by topic
Library search enables you to search for Library resources by topic:
- Search for keywords relevant to your topic.
