For your studies, you will need to find academic sources. These can include academic textbooks and scholarly, peer-reviewed articles.
What does Peer-reviewed mean?
Peer-reviewing is a vigorous process where articles written by academics are assessed by other academics, who give the writer editorial feedback. The article is rewritten using this feedback, before being published in an academic journal.
You can request books and journal articles that are not held in any of the Middlesex University Library Collections using the Inter-Library Loans Service.
Make sure you check out what information you need before you submit an inter-library loan request.
