A selection of databases, eBooks and eJournals can be accessed on Library computers.

Our referencing guides will help you format your reference list in styles such as APA, Vancouver and AMA.
EndNote software stores and manages references from databases, Google Scholar and more. Use Endnote to quickly create a reference list. Contact your librarian for EndNote help and training.
