Library Resources Database (LRD)
Once you understand the types of information provided in a citation, you will need to search the Library Resources Database (UNSW catalogue) to locate the item. It is important to use the appropriate terms when you search (especially for journal article and book chapter citations).
What can you find using the Library Resources Database (LRD)?
The LRD contains records of books and journals that are held by the library, in print or electronic format. You can only search the 'top level' information for these items, that is: |
|
|
| |
|
 |
- for books, the LRD contains information such as the author, title and publication details but not chapter titles. If you are looking for a chapter published in a book, you will need to search using the book title. This will tell you if the library has the book to locate the relevant chapter;
- for journal titles, the LRD does not record each article published (it would take too much time for any library to input all the articles published in every held journal issue). Hence when you are looking up a journal article in the LRD, you will need to know the citation, and search by journal title. You can then check to see if the library holds the volume and issue in which the article was published.
There are various ways of searching the Library
Resources Database, such as, by Author or by Title.
Use the one that is appropiate for the item that you are looking
for (see the examples on this page). Once you have a call
number, see Module 2: Where is... ?
UNSW Library Collection to find out how to locate the
item. |

Use a combination of keywords from the book title and author and search All Fields. You can also search by Title or Author, but this may be a problem when they are common names/terms (eg. searching for the title "biochemistry", or author "smith", will retrieve many results). |
