Basic Search

Do not use complete sentences in the search box. Only include the important keywords.

Here are several examples of what you would type into the search box:

Cyber security Accounting Games design Computer science Project management Forensic accounting Human resource management Games animation Digital storytelling

Keep in mind:

Using more keywords produces a more specific set of results.

When looking at your search results select the title of the resource to view details of an abstract, chapter headings or a contents page of the item, to help you judge its relevance.​

Search results will initially be unfiltered, you will find items including journal articles, newspaper articles, ebooks, and even video files. A simple search of one or two words may return tens of thousands of results; use the refine options available to improve the returned results.

Comprehensive searches should be done in subject specific databases.
