Check your resource list provided for you by your tutor or unit director: this will contain your set texts, essential readings and other recommended resources.
You will also need to use Library Search (the Library's main catalogue) to find specific books and articles relating to your study and research.
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.
Finding primary resources (literary works, historical documents, archives, newspapers, broadcasts, etc)
- You have access to a wide range of full text literary works from antiquity to the present day
- Use newspaper archives to research the publishing reception of works of literature and get insights into contemporary political, social and economic events
- Historical archives give you access to extensive documents which are useful for researching the periods in which literary works are situated
- Find definitions and biographical information via research resources
- Watch and listen to adaptations of literary works via filmed productions and broadcasts
- Analyse data and develop research techniques using research methods
