There are two main ways of searching the Dalton McCaughey Library (DML) resources:
- Library Catalogue search: this will search all the books in the DML collection, both physical and eBooks
- Combined Search: in addition to the DML collection, this will also search journal articles the DML has access to through other sources
To find resources, simply type what you are looking for into the search bar and hit 'enter.' If the initial results are not what you had anticipated, there are other tools that may help you find the right resources.
You may click through the different buttons and menus to discover the tools for yourself or you can read through the various guides below. The guides may be read in any order.
A Note on Logging In
Even if you are already logged into your DML account, there are many points at which you may be asked to enter login details. Simply enter your DML login details again. Some of the login pages may take some time to load once you have entered your details.
A Note on Spelling
When using our search functions, check your search terms are spelled correctly as the search engine will not recognise misspellings and will therefore not give you the results you want.
