To find articles, start by searching in the indexes listed below. An index tells us where and when individual articles were published. Each index is different - in its looks, the type of topics it covers, and access to full text articles. If there's no link to full text in the index, use the
link from the citation to the article, if Trent has access to it. See more information on finding articles.
For books, start with a TOPCAT search to see what books are in our library. Use a keyword search, unless you're looking for a particular book. If you know the title or author of a book, search for it that way - usually the first few words of a title will find it quickly. See more information on using TOPCAT.
In the "Other Online Resources" section you'll find links to some of our unique databases, including reference books, statistics, images, and primary resource sites that could be helpful for your topic.
Under "Websites" there are links to free websites that we consider academic and reliable for your research.
