Editor's Notes

  1. Find out how to use different sources to find information for your literature search quickly and easily. Mainly talking about using databases that index journal articles and conference proceedings – Web of Science, PubMed. What to do with the information about a journal article once you’ve found it: that is, how to find the article itself, either electronically or in print: that’s where the SFX button comes in. Using the Library’s e-journals list to check whether UCL subscribes to a particular journal in electronic format. For a project like this, you should expect to have to use other libraries, especially the British Library: there will be some books and journals that aren’t available in UCL Library. How to find out whet other libraries have, and whether you’re entitled to use them. Introduce you to WISE – new, comprehensive and step-by-step guide to finding and using information, with illustrations that show you how to search all of the electronic resources you’ll need, as well as search tips for each one of them.
  2. “ If you try and access e-resources via other routes look out for a links labelled “institutional login”, “UK federation login”, “Shibboleth login” or similar”
