Here we hope to help you identify suitable resources for your dissertation. Properly defining your research question is key to success, and you will find that you refine this as you read more and choose what to incorporate and - importantly - what to exclude!
Faculty Librarians can help you with search strategies and how to make the best use of library resources. You can make 1 to 1 appointments with us by clicking on the links below.
Depending on your dissertation topic, different databases will be relevant for your search. It is good to try searching via Onesearch at first, as this should cross-reference the various online materials we subscribe to, as well as the physical books that we hold in the Library.
