NPR4005/6/7/8 Literature Searching support for the Final Project

In order to carry out focused research, you may find it more useful to search an individual database (for example, CINAHL Plus with Full Text or Science Direct). Depending upon your topic area there may be a number of relevant databases and it is worthwhile searching more than one as not all articles are listed in every database.

All databases can be accessed via your subject collection in the ‘A-Z Databases’ tab in NELSON or using the direct links below. To access most of the databases you will need to login using your university login details.

The list below contains key sources for your subject areas but there may be times when you need to search other databases. For example, if you are looking at support for young people with learning difficulties at school, you may also need to search an education database. You can access the full A-Z list of databases covering all subject areas. You can check the subjects and categories listing if you are unsure which database to search for your topic.

These short videos have been created to help you access and use the databases to search for relevant information for your assignments. Descriptions about what the databases cover and links to access them are available on the A-Z Database list.
