Welcome to UEA Library. The purpose of this guide is to highlight resources that will help you with your studies or research and to give you further support if you need it.
The Library Helpdesk can help with simple queries and are the best people to contact about using the library building, booking study spaces, accessing electronic resources and finding and borrowing print books. I can provide more in-depth support, either via Email or at Drop-ins or 1:1 meetings. Please get in touch with me to find out more.
You may be given an opportunity to attend an online or face-to-face library sessions. If not, or you are unable to attend, there are online materials available and coming:
Most of the Library's online resources will require a UEA log-in, but we have some content you can access before you join the university.
UEA has access to the full Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB) along with other key reference tools.

I strongly recommend you install the Library's Lean Library web browser extension. This helps connect you to library content when you're searching the Web or using Google Scholar or other online databases. It can help trouble-shoot if you are not automatically signed in via UEA.
UEA subscribes to cite them right, which provides help and tutorials on many of the main referencing styles used at UEA. Use this to learn how best to reference books, articles (along with more tricky formats) and to double-check references you download from Library Search or Google Scholar are correct.
The Library has access to the online edition of the latest (17th) edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, which is used by the schools of History and Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. Chapter 14 covers Chicago footnotes and bibliographies; Chapter 15, the inline (bracketed) version of Chicago. The Quick Guide provides a useful overview.
