In addition to providing access to bibliographic databases, the library is able to perform expert searches on behalf of full library members and supply references and abstracts. This service is currently free, but there is a standard turnaround time of two weeks.
Assistance with searching and information skills training are also available.
Through our document delivery service we can also supply you with full text of the literature you require.
