Finding resources available from the library

More resources can be accessed from the Find menu of the Library website.  These include:

  • Subject Guides - specific library guides for your subject including databases and relevant websites.
  • Databases – specific electronic databases available from the Library can be searched individually.
  • Electronic Journals – check if the Library has electronic access to specific journal titles.
  • Ebooks – Ebook databases available from the Library.
