Internet Searching
This page contains links to a number of Internet search engines and subject gateways, which will help you to search beyond the Library website for information. However, we recommend that in the first instance, you use the Digital Library's Subject Search to find information in your subject area. This will give you access to good quality and peer-reviewed academic information.Search Engines
There are a large number of search engines available for finding information on the Internet. They vary in how they search for and organise information. For a truly comprehensive search you may need to use several search engines and use multi-search engines. To find other types of information or formats (e.g. images) use speciality search engines.
Subject Gateways
If your topic of interest is educational or academic in nature you may get to the best resources more quickly by using a Subject Gateway.
Help and Advice
