We aim to walk your academic journey with you from orientation until your final draft has been accepted. This will be done by one on one consultations set up by your librarian.
We can assist you showing you how to find the most relevant articles for your research topic on our Databases and also getting started with our referencing tools such as Mendeley and Refworks.
You may book your one one one with your CBE Librarians below should you need assistance:

Finding literature
When looking for literature, a good place to start is through our CBE Libguide which links to our library databases in order to search for books and e-books, videos, Journal articles, digital media, and more.
If you find an interesting article or book that UJ Libraries does not have, you can request it through Inter-Library Loans. They offer an electronic request system. Find out more about them You may submit your request for Interlibrary loans here
