Simple search strategies for new students. This illustrative article was written for the prototype and shows how a migrated newsletter post could read on the new Library website.

Why it matters

Students and staff at the Institute increasingly rely on library services that are online, discoverable and easy to use. Small changes in how we search, save and share information can save hours across a semester.

  • Start with the catalogue
  • Use subject guides
  • Ask for help early
A good start makes all the difference.

Getting started

Begin with the Library's subject guides, then book a consultation with a librarian if you need tailored help. Our team can walk you through tools, strategies and resources relevant to your programme.
