Academic Skills: Research Guide: Research Resources

Resources to help with academic research, including databases, Google Scholar, how-to guides and discipline-specific resources.

Databases

Members of the National Library of Australia [NLA] or the State Library of Victoria [SLV] or Brimbank public libraries have access to eresources that are not available through Google or other free search engines. These resources include eBooks, magazines, newspaper, and reference databases. Much of the information in the eresources is not available elsewhere on the web.

Google Scholar lets you search across a broad range of scholarly literature including journal articles, books, conference papers, theses and abstracts. The site’s content is sourced from academic publishers, professional societies, university websites and other online repositories.
