Direct Research
Today research students and faculty have a seamless access to information and resources. With the advent of global search engines such as Google Scholar, the Free Library and others; the ‘library research experience’ is direct; i.e. 99% of searches done personally by students and faculty in a modern university sitting at their desk in home or campus; without the intervention of a librarian. You can do such direct research by using any of the links to the free online libraries listed below.
However, whilst powerful search engines are making it very easy for users; the quality of the information is often the problem. The librarians at TopiaU can provide a coherent user experience; without any unnecessary friction for the user. If you need a librarian’s help in giving you quality information, please ask a research question via the Librarian Tab
