Finding Articles and more

−

For some assignments, our Discovery Service will give you enough sources to work with. In fact it may give you too many - so think carefully about exactly what subject you are interested in and the keywords you are using.

Sometimes you may want to try specific databases or journals - perhaps your lecturer has recommended particular names as a good way of finding articles. This page lists key sources for the various subject areas that Learning at Work may cover.

Check out this video on how to find journal titles.

• For Health and Safety information

Much Health & Safety (or Occupational Safety & Health as is often used in North America) information can be found in our standard databases such as Discovery or Engineering Village. However, we do have some subject specific resources which may be of use - particularly for specialised information such as fact sheets or reports.
