Notes
|
Access is limited
to academic staff and postgraduate students, honours and above.
Note: FirstSearch databases charge by the search. Therefore bear
in mind, the use of the Boolean operator OR in a search statement
constitutes a second search as does the limiting of an initial search
by adding additional terms or dates etc. Searching in more than
one database is recorded as multiple searches. The Library pays
for the searches but asks you to use the service judiciously.
Users of Worldcat should try the free version on the web where this will suffice.
Databases are listed under various subject areas.
