Subject-specific guides to help you research
Whether you’re in your first year or doing a postgraduate degree, it’s not uncommon to find yourself stuck when it comes to finding relevant sources for your research. The library provides access to millions of texts, videos, articles, journals and more – so how do you narrow those down to find what’s right for you?
That’s where our subject-specific Resource Guides come in. Expert librarians across all four faculties have put together a one-stop-shop of key links and databases for the major subject areas in the University. These Resource Guides are regularly updated and tailored for your area of study, so you’ll find only the most relevant information.
The Resource Guides page was recently updated to make it even easier for you to find what you need – make sure you check it out! Start with your faculty, and you can narrow it down to subject area from there.
Looking for help with your study or research skills? On this page, you can also find our Study and research guides that cover a wide range of topics for all students.
For example:
- the Peer review guide gives you an overview of peer review and how to find peer-reviewed sources
- the Open Access guide helps you learn to recognise, understand and find open access resources
- the Making a video guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to put together a video like a pro
- the Companies, Industries and Country Information guide helps you find information that’s difficult to track down or expensive to locate on the web, such as industry reports
- the EndNote guide offers the key information you need to know about this referencing tool.
No matter what or where you study, the library’s Resource Guides will help you set an excellent, reliable foundation for your research.
