To find the titles and class numbers of the books you require you should use the Library catalogue. It is available from terminals within the LSC and via these Web pages from outside Bolton Institute. They are published in several parts a year, usually monthly or quarterly, each year then usually forming a volume. Journals are often much more up to date than books and are useful for finding current research on a subject. If you require background information on a subject a book may be more useful.
Newspapers also contain very up to date information and are good for comment on a variety of issues.
This can be used retrospectively to gauge opinion of past events. When using a journal or newspaper article, always create a bibliography in your essay to cite the author. Languages journals are shelved on the ground Floor of the Eagle LSC for one month, after which they are moved to the languages resource centre in the Business School. They cannot be borrowed from the Library, however, you can photocopy articles from them. Back issues are shelved alphabetically by title then year and volume.
