What is Search Everything?

It is as it says - it searches (nearly) everything on the Libraries and Learning Services website including books and dvds in the library system, journal articles, exam papers.

You can chose to use the drop down options next to Search Everything or use the Or go to options. 

The Catalogue has a record for each book, video, DVD and journal (journals include serials, magazines, newspapers) held in the libraries of The University of Auckland library system.

Books can be very useful resources for assignments.
They provide a good overview but they won't always include the most recent research.
