Remember to click on the University members link at the
top of the page if you are accessing StarPlus from the Library web pages (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.

at the Subject Guides to identify the key
databases and online resources for your subject area. Link to the Subject Guides from the home
