Feeling frantic? Tips for finding and using information

The Library is here to help any student who is feeling uncertain now that assignments and tutorial questions are due for completion.

We have the books and online resources you need to complete your essays and assignments. The library catalogue is a key to finding the resources you require, often in electronic form. Searching a key database is another good way of locating information.
