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.

• Use keyword searches on Library Search to find books and journal articles
• Use online bibliographies and subject indexes to find comprehensive lists of references to scholarship on your subject (it's advisable to use Library Search before using subject indexes)
• Use databases of literary works, images, newspapers, broadcasts and archives to find scholarly, annotated works of literature and other materials relating to your topic

• Internet searching can be useful for very recent or under-researched topics

• If you are looking for materials not published in books or journals, such as annual reports, conference proceedings, statistics, government publications, etc, have a look at the grey literature section
