Help finding e-resources

When you’re looking for e-resources, such as ebooks and journal articles there are a number of tools you can use - we recommend you start with Library Search (on the library web page). You will be able to access any resources that University of Sunderland subscribe to with your University User ID and password. An increasing amount of research is being published open access (free to read) too, for example on Google Scholar.

Below we’ve curated a few guides to help you navigate University of Sunderland online resources and wider open access material. Expand the sections below to browse the help guides available.
