How do I search?
Information is published in many different ways. You can find information in books, in journal and newspaper articles, on the web and in encyclopaedias etc. The library subscribes to several information resources such as databases and e-journals, which you can use in your information retrieval.
Before you start searching it is important to define what kind of information you need. How you prepare for your search and the way you search depend on what purpose you have for seeking information. You may need to use several types of sources to get the information you are looking for.
