 Harvesting information for the Inquiry assignment

The research required for your inquiry should go beyond the normal "Googling" process. A more comprehensive process is required which involves the fantastic database research facilities of the TSC library.  Please note that when you have found the resource (article etc) you must citate in accordance with the Harvard system. Go to citation facility on the library link to create the correct citation for the source.

Here are the library research links we looked at today for you to play with and use. All your research is just a few clicks away! Email me if you have lost the passwords for the following sites.

1. EBSCO Host databases
