The National Institute of Teaching & Education: Library Services

The Library provides access to hundreds of thousands of ebooks, which can be accessed whether you are working on or off campus.

Ebooks can be searched for and accessed via Locate.

This short video will show you how to find, access and use ebooks.

Some of the highest quality information available is contained in expensive peer reviewed journals. The library has purchased the right for you to access these articles while you study with us.  

Journal articles can be found via databases such as Education Source.

• Journal articles provide depth and detail on a topic.  
• Many academic articles are peer reviewed meaning they are checked by experts to ensure content is relevant and of good quality. 
• To get high marks you will need to demonstrate that you have used a range of high quality resources.
• Journals contain original studies and literature reviews, reading these will help you prepare to write your own reports.

This short video provides an overview of how to search for journal articles in Education Source. There are also many other databases that can be used to search for journal articles, these can be found under the 'databases' tab on this LibGuide.

Watch this video to see how to reference in APA 7.
