There are a range of specialist databases to access.
Our recommendation for dissertations is that you always use more than one database for retrieving sources. Ideally, one general database and one more specific subject database will provide a good spread of relevant sources.
While there may be overlap in the references found in different databases, all databases will contain some references which are unique as all have their particular focus and can vary in geographical coverage and date range.
Examples of where to search
- The Library's databases
- Book searches via Primo
- Articles Search via Primo
- A-Z E-resources
- Aberystwyth Research Portal
- WHELF Search
- Subject Guides
- Google Scholar
![dissertation binding aberystwyth](https://libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/136260/images/student_using_pc.jpg)
In the main you will use the Library's research databases.
The databases allow you to search through millions of journal articles, book chapters and book reviews, reports and proceedings, theses, etc., at one time.
No two databases have exactly the same content so you should search several databases to ensure you don't miss a key paper on your topic. Take a look through the following tabs and the box opposite to find out more on where to search for material.
Libraries (the default search) finds
- physical items in campus libraries: books, journals, newspapers, pamphlets, DVDs, CDs, dictionaries, atlases
- e-books, e-journals and other electronic information sources to which AU subscribes
![dissertation binding aberystwyth](https://libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/136260/images/libraries_search.png)
Primo FAQs: https://faqs.aber.ac.uk/index.php?search=primo
Articles search via Primo
Journals and journal articles provide important sources of academic information. Articles does a fast search of many journal articles from participating publishers and returns results with full-text online.
You can search for journal articles using the Articles search in Primo.
![dissertation binding aberystwyth](https://libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/136260/images/primonew1.png)
- How do I find the full text of articles in journals I have found in Primo or elsewhere?
- How do I find full-text articles in Primo Articles?
Available via Primo, you will find links to a wide variety of online information resources which AU students and staff have access to via an AU Library subscription or purchase, plus a small selection of high-quality, freely-available content.
![dissertation binding aberystwyth](https://libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/136260/images/az.png)
These are links to an alphabet list of links to electronic information resources that Aberystwyth University subscribes to. The page detects whether you are on campus or not and provides off-campus advice accordingly. Resources selected by subject are available on the subject information pages .
- An A-Z list of all databases the Library gives you access to. If you are researching a multi-disciplinary topic, you are recommended to start identifying your databases from Resources A-Z.
- How do I find full-text articles using bibliographic databases?
![dissertation binding aberystwyth](https://libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/136260/images/RRSEARCH_PORTAL.png)
You can search and find the Aberystwyth Research Portal via Prim o for AU higher degree theses and research located in the Pure research repository. If you prefer, you can visit the Aberystwyth Research Portal and search it directly.
The Aberystwyth Research Portal makes the very best of Aberystwyth University's staff and postgraduate research openly available online, free o f charge.
Content in the portal includes published outputs, postgraduate theses, project details, as well as records for other esteem activities.
The portal also includes personal profiles of all current staff and research students.
This allows browsers of the Portal to view on one page all related research content linked to that person. Browsing is also possible by department.
You can search the Aberystwyth Research Portal for theses either in the general search box or by browsing the postgraduate publications community. Aberystwyth Research Portal records do not necessarily provide full text access, for theses, this might be because a thesis has a temporary embargo on open access (embargo conditions and date of availability can be found by clicking on 'Show Full Item Record'), or a permanent embargo due to issues of copyright or sensitive information, for example.
A WHELF Search via Primo returns results from WHELF member library catalogues that includes all the higher education institutions in Wales along with the National Library of Wales, Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales, Natural Resources Wales and the Open University in Wales.

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar can be a good place to start your search but it does not allow for the advanced or complex searching you can do in the Library's research databases.
Access e-resources using Google Scholar
Google Scholar may not provide access to full-text, however, by linking to the Library you can access full-text where there is a University subscription.
- Selecting Settings from the top of the Google Scholar Home Page
- Selecting Library Links
- Search for Aberystwyth University. Select it from the list and Save your settings
You will now see FindIt@Aber links next to items in your Google Scholar results that you can use to access the full-text.

Teaching & Learning
How will I learn?
This programme is offered via flexible distance learning and students may take between two and five years to complete their studies. Students complete 120 credits of taught modules, at which point they are eligible for a CILIP accredited Diploma. Students can then complete a 60 credit Masters dissertation, and thus gain a CILIP accredited MA qualification (180 credits).
Attendance at two study schools for the MA and one for the Diploma is required and these provide the main contact. For the rest of the time you will work through specially designed self-study module packs supported by online learning materials. Contact time can be arranged remotely with your tutor.
What will I learn?
Students will study a number of crucial core modules whilst directing their study by choosing specialist modules. Information on the modules available can be found in the Modules tab.
Students wishing to complete the MA will then go on to complete an individual dissertation, whereas those who do not wish to complete this can obtain the Diploma.
The 15,000 word dissertation allows students to research an approved topic within the information and library field, engage with central concepts, methods and techniques in the main streams of information and library research, and in doing so aim to contribute to the national understanding of data handling and information flow.
How will I be assessed?
The taught modules are assessed by coursework. Successful submission of the 60 credit Masters dissertation leads to the award of an MA.
