This guide will help you to find and use all the available useful sources to help you get just what you need fast!

Starting Your Search

Here you can access helpful catalogue searches, where we've completed some of the first steps to get you started in your searching.

TIP - When searching topics with two or more terms it is best to use phase searching. By adding quote marks to your searches, such as "sports massage" you will be searching for those exact terms, next to one another, rather than randomly found throughout a text.​

Research

Depending on your assignment you may also need to use one of our specialised databases. Databases are extremely useful tools for researching specific information, recent information and scholarly articles.


Featured Databases
