Catalogue and searching - Help:

Use the Library catalogue to find primary resources such as books, exam papers, specific journals and audio-visual items. Use the databases and indexes to identify and locate individual articles in journals.

For advice in using these tools, use the HELP! Link, including the Library Skills Online tutorials

Keywords and descriptors - when searching catalogues and databases, be ready to use a wide range of terms, both general and precise. For example:

EducationTeachingLearningSchoolsCurriculumPedagogy
LiteracyLanguageSpellingWritingReadingSpeaking
NumeracyMathematicsMathsMathScienceConstructivism

If your search returns too many items, use narrower or combinations of terms. If you do not find enough, try broader terms

ACER'S Education Thesaurus can help you find broader, narrower and related terms.
