Using FiNDit

If you are looking for a particular book or journal article, search using the title. Avoid copying full citations into FiNDit.

You can also search for articles on a particular topic by identifying keywords from your assignment question. You can use boolean operators to group search terms together.

You can also browse ejournals for your subject discipline, by selecting the ejournals heading in the top menu bar of FiNDit. Our e-journals platform BrowZine allows you to: 

  • browse and read journals by subject, review tables of contents, and download full articles
  • create your own journal shelf and be notified when new articles are published
  • save articles to read offline
  • email articles to share with others

If you are looking for a particular database, you can search in FiNDit using the name of the database or use the database list. The databases link allows you to browse the eResources by Subject page.
