Hi guys,
I want to be able to utilise the Uni Library resources better as I want to be able to undertake more targeted reading of published journal articles (online) and research papers.
I'd like to go in to campus and get a librarian to show me how to use the system best for what I want to find. Which library is best to do this? The Baillieu? Or would for example the Biomed Library be better for medical research/cancer/stem cell/pathology-type readings? Or perhaps it just doesn't matter because it would mostly be online anyway?
Cheers for the advice.

Hey,
From someone who has had to do a lot of digging through the Melb uni libraries for science and history subjects, the best advice i can give is find everything you need using the online catalogue on the melb uni library website. Then its a simple matter of finding what you need if its a book, which is not that hard, or accessing the whole lot of academic journal that are online.

Thanks for your reply Belgarion. Actually my question was mainly badly phrased. I'm mainly looking to find a librarian to teach me how to use the online database efficiently. I guess it's the same (and the librarians have the same knowledge) across all the libraries, I just wonder if any particular library would be better.

If you find something called 'Discovery' on the uni online database, use that! It's so easy to use once you find it- you wouldn't need librarian help for it.

You should just use google scholar because it's better than discovery I hate discovery.
Then you can edit the link to allow you access.
