If you don't have a reading list, or if
there is nothing suitable on it, you will have to find
information resources yourself.
The library catalogue, library
databases and the internet
will be your major sources, unless you are planning
to use community sources.
To use these sources effectively, you will need the
search terms you developed when you
analysed
your topic in Getting Started.
reminder
Your search strategy will also be influenced by:
how up-to-date the information needs to be;
what level of information is required; and
what aspects you need to concentrate on.
- the things you thought about when you were Getting Started.
library catalogue

success. The TAFE NSW Library catalogue lists the resources
of all TAFE libraries in NSW.

tip from your librarian
"As you search, keep a careful record of what you have done, and details of items you found useful. That way you won't waste time repeating searches.
