The e-Publication finder can be used when you know the name of a publication. Enter the name of the journal, e-book etc. in the Title begins with search box and then click on Search.
The results will bring out the journal and in which databases it is held. This allows you to search the journal for more articles by using the relevant database. Otherwise just insert the the title of the article within the search within this publication search box to go directly to the article.
The following are links to pre-determined keyword searches and these are self-updating. After clicking on each link, a list of articles will come up containing keywords covering the theme. Not all the articles may be relevant. Select those articles which you think are applicable to your approach to the topic. Select the pdf option for downloading or email the pdf article to yourself using the email function.
The searches have been limited to peer-review, scholarly and english articles. They have also been limited to the last 3 years but you can change all these limiters once you open the search link.
