Track down those all important resources
Whatever resources you need for your assignments this semester, the Library has you covered. If we don’t already provide access to the items you’re looking for, we can get it for you from another library - all for free! All you need to do is complete our Tell Us What You Need form and we’ll take care of the rest, whether that’s sending you a journal article or buying a book. For journal articles make sure to include the DOI or ISSN if you know them, as that will get you the article that much more quickly. Read our 7 tips to find the literature you need for more guidance, noting in particular that your Subject Guide will give you a curated list of subject-specific resources. If you’ve never used the Subject Guides, now is the time to start!
