FINDit

 

FINDit is a simple, one-step search method for books, e-books, articles, DVDs and more, and includes a number of personalized features for you.

Electronic library services for students at Partner Colleges

Students based at partner institutions may access many of the University’s subscribed e-resources, where permissible under licensing agreements. We provide a wide range of electronic material including eJournals, eNewspapers and eDatabases; these resources can be used on and off-campus.

Use FINDit, our simple one-stop search to find the electronic resources that you need.

Staff at your own college will be the main source of support when using FINDit and e-resources, but we do have a range of FINDit guides to help (See: Guides & films).
