Introduction
Where do I begin?
A good place to start searching for information is your reading list. Why? … because relevant information has been found for you by your lecturer! Items in your reading list may be available in print or electronic format from the library.
To learn more about how to locate items in your reading list see the ILIP tutorial.
Bibliographies can also be a very useful starting point for locating relevant information. Check the bibliography of a relevant book or journal article for other information sources you can use.
Where else can I find information?
The UOW Library website has links to many information sources. Check these out.
Resources for assignments
