LRD Catalogue  (before clicking read below first)
 
Use the LRD to search your library for books and journals. Search for a known book by choosing to search in either the author field or the title field. The quickest search for a known book may be an "All Keywords" search using the author's (or editor's) name and a few words of the title. Search for a journal by typing its title "journal of finance", selecting "Title Keyword" search and limiting your search to Journals only. 
Search for unknown items by resolving your topic into keywords "corporation ethics". Note the Subject Heading on the full display of records. Use these as the subject searches by clicking on them, or use the terms you consider relevant as keyword searches. Subject Heading gives you a clue to preferred terms and to related topics that you may not have thought of.
MyCourse UNSW Library Reserve (before clicking read below first)
MyCourse is the search engine for the Library Reserve. Lecturers place items in Reserve that they want all their students to use. You can search MyCourse for a known item or by keyword, but the first search should be using your course code e.g. INFS1602  to find all items your lecturer wants you to access.
