Look at our guidance on how to search for a specific book, article, or journal on StarPlus.
If you are sure we do not have access to a resource that you need, you can:
- Check if the item is available via Open Access, this is particularly useful when looking for doctoral theses and journal articles.
- Expand your search using a database if you can't find the exact article you want, check out the Databases A-Z linked from StarPlus. The Library subject guides have information on the databases for your subject area.
- Suggest that we purchase a physical or electronic copy via the Library Resource Recommendation Form.
- Apply via our InterLibrary Request Service, we can source book chapters and articles both physically and electronically from other institutions.
If you are studying on a taught course and the item you need appears on a reading list, please talk to your tutor. They may need to liaise with the Library to make the resource available on the reading list (eg articles, ebooks).
