This resource contains important information for Undergraduate and Postgraduate students completing dissertations. However, remember to always follow the specific guidelines given by your department and / or supervisor.
The ebooks suggested below have been selected to help you more generally, but for specific departmental guidelines, handbooks, etc. please follow up with your supervisor. For more help on using ebooks please visit our Ebooks LibGuide https://libguides.itcarlow.ie/ebooks.
How to write your dissertation:
Subject specific:
There are a broad range of Research Methods e-books available through our dedicated e-book database Ebook Central.
The Library subscribes to a wide range of databases covering the subjects taught at IT Carlow. Most of these databases are searchable through ‘Search and Find: Online Resources’ or alternatively they can be searched individually via the A-Z Database list.
Here you will find a link to all of our library databases where you can find research material such as journal articles, books and conference papers. A guide to using Search and Find: Online Resources can be found at https://libguides.itcarlow.ie/EDS.
After you click on 'Search and Find: Online Resources' or an individual database link, you will need to enter your IT Carlow network username and password (e.g. your student number and the same password that you use to log into your email or Blackboard) to access the online resource. For more information see our Off-Campus Access LibGuide.
