Using various search engines to find scholarly information

Library Databases

Starting to use the library databases is easy Just go to the library website - https://library.lit.ie/

The main search engine is called Discover! (https://library.lit.ie/find/eds/)
Using Discover's single search box, you can search across a number of databases simultaneously.
Your searches will find links to scholarly books and journals and lots of other solid information for your projects.

Discover! is available both on and off campus, so there is never a problem tracking down references for your assignments and projects. 

Follow the links to the guides below for more information on accessing and using the library databases...
