Searching

The Knowledge Basket provides a search screen designed to facilitate searching both by novice searchers, and by expert searchers.

Video Tutorials

Check out our new Video Tutorials - specific to each database, but with techniques that can be applied across them all. Our presenter Nathan and director/producer Donnyell are students themselves and they have designed the tutorials to be brief, informative and down-to-earth. Nathan and Donnyell are available for work of this kind (studies notwithstanding!).
