We have focused on books and journal articles in this section because they are the main two types of resources that the majority of courses will be using at the start.
However, there are lots of other resources that you may be asked to read. Your libraries will give you lots of information about how and where to search for these.
These may be in person, printed guides in the library, teaching sessions or on their subject LibGuide. Some general guides which may be of interest are listed below: click on the arrows to move the slides and click the image to connect to the relevant LibGuide.
