Information about library resources for online students

Databases

Databases provide access to collections of information such as books, journal articles, encyclopaedias, conference papers, company information, cases, and legislation. Some databases provide information in full [text] whilst others will only give the reference and an abstract.

When you use the 'Search the online Library' box, the main search box on the library website, or the Advanced Search, you are searching across a selection of databases simultaneously.  If you find the number of documents retrieved is overwhelming, or not relevant, try searching individual databases. 

Specific information, such as company reports, statistics, or the law are not included in the main search. For this information you will need to go direct to the database. Below is a list of databases for both business and management, and law.
