4-Searching for information

Topic 7    Your subject

Having looked at a variety of different sources, such as library catalogues, databases and the web, and thought about ways of keeping track of what you find when carrying out a search for information, to draw it all together, we'd like you to look at the databases, library catalogues and internet resources that are the most relevant to your area of interest.

We know from Section 2 that although there are common sources/elements to all subject areas, the shape of each subject's literature is not identical. Many subject areas have information sources that are unique or a least uniquely important, e.g. pictures in the study of the history of art.
