Introduction I saw you earlier in the week for the sport and ethics sessions and today is more of an overview of the full search process and a chance to show you a further range of databases. I’ll also be explaining the interlibrary loans system if you need to get hold of books or journal articles which the library doesn’t have. This presentation and accompanying notes are accessible from the Sport subject guide on the webpages under the link Guides to finding information. There are also several on-line guides to help with searching which are mentioned at the end of the handout. I’ll show you some of those now.
