Essential 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 (18th) edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, which is used by the schools of History and Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. Chapter 13 covers Chicago references and bibliographies, with chapter 14 providing examples. The Quick Guide gives a useful overview.
The Library Helpdesk is your first point of contact for queries about using the library building, booking study spaces, accessing electronic resources and finding and borrowing print books.
I can provide more in-depth support - if you need help, please do get in touch!
