Literature Searching Part 3: Pick 'n' Mix databases, recommended for Research Post-Graduate students

Speaker: Tutor(s): Janet MacKay, Susan McCourt and Elaine Shallcross

Venue: University Library, Floor 2, PC classroom 3

 Find out how to use Primo (our portal to e-resources) to identify and link to databases to find material in support of your research and literature searching. Select, search and investigate personalised features in specialised databases of interest to you with library staff on hand to give support and advice. Databases include those supplied by:

JSTOR – (all subjects)

EBSCO - economics (EconLit), geology (GeoRef), music (RILM), psychology (PsycArticles and PsycINFO), religion (ATLA) and social sciences (IBSS)

CSA Illumina - biological sciences, biotechnology, education, electronics and some aspects of engineering, environmental science, marine science, sociology and social services.

Important notes:This workshop looks at databases beyond Scopus and Web of Knowledge that are covered in detail in a separate SFRE library skills workshop.

To make effective use of your time you should be familiar with how to plan a keyword search and construct a search strategy. These topics are covered in Literature Searching: Part 1 - Essential Skills for Success.

Demonstration and hands-on exercises included.
