09. Brainstorm sources

Auckland City Libraries has a lot of different databases available to help you find information in our digital library. Have a look through the database descriptions to see what's available to help.

Remember books - they're a great place to start. Use the library catalogue for searching - remember to use your keywords for subject searching.

If you're using the internet, be careful which sites you're getting your information from.

 

Stop & check. Next step: Stop & check
