The first step is to familiarize yourself with the library catalogue. A library catalogue is a list of all of the materials in the library. You can access the catalogue online in the library and sometimes outside the library through the internet and/or intranet. The library catalogue will list a wide variety of materials: books, e-books, journals, e-journals, newspapers, doctoral theses and so on. For most essays assignments, you will need to access books and journal articles.

Glossary

intranet An intranet is a network of computers, similar to the internet, within a particular company or organization.

Before searching for the items on your list, make sure you know what sort of texts you are looking for. In reading lists and bibliographies, books will normally be listed under the author’s name and will usually include the date of publication, the title, the place of publication and the name of the publisher.

A chapter or article within a book will normally be listed under the name of the writer of the chapter and will include the title of chapter as well as the name of the editor of the book and the title of the book, the place of publication and so on.
