4 Responses Directed students Google PolyU Directed students to OneSearch Direct students to the library s Databases by Subject list to explore relevant disciplinary databases Recommended disciplinary databases such as Science Direct Requested a library workshop on searching Troubleshot some searches together (too few results? too many? typos in search statement? relevance of results?)
