Remember to click on the University members link at the
top of StarPlus if you are accessing it from the Library webpages (when
you access StarPlus from MUSE, you will be automatically signed on to the
catalogue). Signing on to StarPlus will give you full access to resources and
features including the e-Shelf
and your online Library account.
Search under the University Collections tab to
find: books, ebooks, journals, databases, theses and multimedia. Enter
keywords into the search box then refine your results later.
Use the Articles and More tab to search for journal articles from
databases. All results shown will be available for you to access.
However, you can also choose to include results without full text online
access.
Top tips
- Use
quotation marks when searching for a phrase, e.g. “global warming”.
- Use
an asterisk at the end of a word to represent alternative endings. For example, educat* will search for: education, educating,
educational etc.
- Use
the e-Shelf to organise,
print, email and push your search results into reference management
software. Add search results to your e-Shelf by clicking on the star icon
(located on the left of each search result).
- To
request a book that is out on loan, click on the Get It tab and then the Request link
(requested items are now being issued until after the Easter Vacation: Easter Vacation Loan Periods).
- Look
at the Subject Guides to
identify the key databases and online resources for your subject area.

from the home page of StarPlus.
