The Library catalogue is a good starting point for researching a topic. It contains introductory books and DVDs, as well as journals, newspapers, theses, maps, reports, and images.
Some information sources are available in both print and electronic versions.
When searching for information on a topic , use the keyword search option in the Library catalogue. To make your topic search most effective:
- Use broader keywords when searching for books
- Use the advanced search option in the catalogue to refine your search
- Try searching with different combinations of words until you find what you are looking for
- If you are looking for a very specific topic, try searching for journal articles rather than for a book.
