    Need help looking for information? Try our LibGuides...

    Have you been set an assignment?  Starting a literature review?  Preparing a presentation?  Take a look at the LibGuides prepared by your team of Information Specialists.

    LibGuides are a series of webpages that provide information and links to books, journals, databases and webpages you can use to research your subject area.

    You can access the LibGuides via the Library homepage by choosing the icon at the bottom right of the screen.  You can also view all the LibGuides via the Library SmartSearch link
    You can choose any subject area from the list and you will be taken to the subject Welcome page.  The LibGuide will suggest the databases to use to find journal articles, e-books, company information, datasets, market reports, newspapers, country profiles, industry analysis and much more.  Just click the tabs along the top of the guide for more information



    Have a browse and see if LibGuides can help you discover something new!
