Such activities will enable you to include the latest ideas and findings in your dissertation, reports and presentations. Today, there is a very wide range of web-based and social media facilities available to choose from to aid you in this task.

This guide will explore these facilities and will include information about: 

  • browsing the new book lists on the Library catalogue
  • browsing tables of contents of relevant journals
  • searching relevant subject databases regularly
  • setting up email alerts from databases and publishers' websites
