How can I find relevant literature to support my work?

NELSON (Northampton Electronic Library Search ONline)

You can use NELSON to search the library’s books, e-books, e-journals, videos and more. Sign-in with your University login to access the full-text. If the item is available electronically you’ll see a link to the full-text online. If the content is available in print, you’ll see a shelfmark letting you know where to find the book on the shelf.

At times, you may need to use other resources. if you need any help searching for suitable information for your work, have a look at the subject guides linked on this page or make an appointment with your Academic Librarian.
