A Round Trip to the Library

Hi, it's KB again. This week I want to take you all on a round trip to University of Leicester Library. I've been hearing from students who are not using the library, a few of whom are not novices in the programme. So, let's talk library.

Unless you live next door to this:





The British Library



Or this:






The New York Public Library




You are going to need the University of Leicester Library.

















This is what the library's home page looks like:



The University of Leicester Digital Library is there to support your research needs. Of course, you will need to make sure you have a CFS password and ID.





If you don't, you can go here to find one:
http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/itservices/resources/cs/sd/registration/it-accounts







This password will allow you to have access to the library when you are working off campus.

The University of Leicester has Leicester e-link:













If you search for, for example, the Academy of Management Journal, the library database will tell you that:


Once you do the search and click on the results, you will find that the Academy of Management Journal is available through EBSCO fulltext or JSTOR.






These are part of the library's collection of digital databases. Digital databases that you may want to explore include:

Business Source Premiere
EBSCO
Emerald Online
JSTOR
Sage Journals Online
Wiley Interscience

Using the Digital Library at University of Leicester is going to help you write better assignments and dissertations. Yes, Google Scholar should be included in the places you search as well but you should not rely on it as one stop shopping. Next blog, we're going to look at using Google Scholar and how it can help you as well and how the two resources are complementary.

Until then, happy researching.
