Finding books - Search the Library catalogue

Search the Library Catalogue Using the Advanced Search

The fastest and easiest way to search for books and eBooks on your topic is to use the Library Catalogue's Advanced Search. The Advanced Search will give you access to multiple search boxes, which will allow you to apply the techniques we discuss in Creating a Research Plan.

Finding books - eBook databases

The Library has three eBook databases. The contents of both of these databases are linked directly through the Library Catalogue, so we recommend that you search through the Catalogue instead of searching through the databases individually, although you can also search them directly by clicking on the links below:
