Welcome,
The purpose of this library guide is to give you some useful information for doing the research you need to succeed in your studies.
Research is not only vital for essays and academic papers, but also to support the roles you will play in creative productions.
There is no limitation to the type of items that may give you creative inspiration, so please do not limit yourself to the resources that are discussed in this guide.
See the Library Search, Databases, Websites, and Streaming A/V pages for general advice on finding assignment materials and core Library resources.
Explore the Acting, Dance, and Performance pages for specific books, journals, and websites for each subject area.
As well as this guide you should look at other ECU Library guides that will help you, particularly if you are doing formal academic research.
Amongst the most useful guides for your area of study are:
Academic Skills Essentials, Digital Essentials, Referencing, Ebooks, Endnote, Media and Communications, How to do a Video Essay, Music, Research Methodologies for the Creative Arts & Humanities,
The most important thing for you to remember though is:
If you are having difficulties contact us.
I will be happy to help you.
