Library Services supports Abertay research staff and postgraduate researchers (PGRs) to find and access information, develop literature searches, manage references and use copyright material.

Use the links below to find services and guidance, or email library@abertay.ac.uk if you are unsure where to start.

Find and access research

Use Library resources, guides and services to find and access research literature, theses, datasets and other sources.

Get specialist Library help

Library staff can provide tailored help with literature searching and accessing research resources.

Literature searching

Library staff can help you:

  • identify appropriate databases and other sources
  • plan and refine a search strategy
  • use citation searching to find related research
  • develop the literature-searching element of a systematic review

Email library@abertay.ac.uk for advice.

Access research resources

If you cannot access a resource needed for your research through Abertay, email library@abertay.ac.uk with the details.

Depending on the resource, we may recommend an inter-library loan, consider purchasing it for the Library collection or explain what is required if approved school or research-project funding is to be used.

Manage and use research information

Find tools and guidance to manage references, keep up to date with new publications and understand how copyright applies to your research.
