SRMO is indispensable as a comprehensive and interactive database on Education research methods.

Contact the Education Librarian to get you started on using SRMO.

You can also watch a short video on SRMO overview.

Research Stages

I recommend using the Project Planner at Sage Research Methods

Mendeley - Reference Management

Manage your references by citing and building bibliographies at the click of a mouse by using Mendeley.

The Education Librarian can take you through how to get up and running with Mendeley.

Watch this full tutorial video on how to get started with Mendeley.

Google Scholar

Discover Education information sources worldwide by using Google Scholar.

Before you do a search, always link Google Scholar to UWC Library collections by clicking on the Google Scholar link, just below the uKwazi search space. The results will then include UWC holdings.  Scholar is useful for metrics and finding similar papers.

Ask the Education Librarian to take you through useful features of Scholar.

Ask me for advice on power tips for using Google.
