Linking to information and resources

You will find journal articles and book chapters linked in VU Collaborate unit spaces but there will be times you need to look up resources or conduct independent research. Basic videos are provided on this page with the option to link to more specific resources and information.

• The Finding Resources library guide will get you started on searching techniques.
• The E-Books guide provides information on finding, reading and downloading e-books.
• Evaluating Information and referencing are valuable skills to develop.
• You are also able to Use Other Libraries. 
• Workshops & drop-in sessions provide opportunities to meet with library staff and get study assistance.
• Selected courses and units have specific guides relating to your discipline area.
• The Learning Hubs provide online resources, practical workshops, drop-ins and peer support.

Search engines are widely regarded as the most popular means of finding information. However, Google, Bing or Yahoo and other popular search engines should never be your only research tool.
