Type your question: Searching

When starting your search on the Library home page or on the Books, Journals and Databases page (in the blue search box where it says 'Type a subject, author or title') it's best to start off using simple search terms.

Make use of the filters on the results page to narrow your search down, for example, by date or resource format. Alternatively, click on 'Options' in the search bar on the results page to go to advanced search to apply filters and additional search terms.

You can find print and video guidance on the Literature Searching and Training page of the website. This page also contains information about training sessions. All RCN members have access to free training provided by the library so it's worth exploring further if you're struggling or want to improve your searching skills.
