Advice & assistanceTo find out about advanced search techniques, or to discover more about the range of Library resources, please contact Ursula Henderson, Research Librarian for the School of Molecular & Biomedical Science.
For general advice or assistance with using the Library please ask at the Research Help Desk, call us on +61 8 8303 5372 or send an email to library@adelaide.edu.au. Detailed services and resources information can be found on the Library A to Z. There is also an ever expanding range of online tutorials and demonstrations. Tips for using databases/finding articles - If you already know the journal title, volume and pages of an
article, do not use databases. Instead search for the journal title
directly in the Library Catalogue.
- Use databases when you know only your topic or an author's name, and need to find journal articles.
