E-Library


 * UMP E-Library**

For the purposes of reviewing previous research, it is highly recommended that you refer to valid and reliable resources. The question is, where do you go about searching for these types of resources? The best place to search for the quality materials would be the library.

For this UHL2332 Academic Report Writing course, limit your search for the resources within the articles found through [|http://iportal.ump.edu.my]. Once you are on that webpage, scroll down to the bottom of the page until you find a table entitled 'E-Resources'. Click on the 'E-resources' link under the sub-heading 'Subscribed databases/ Journals/ e-Books. With one simple click, you will find huge collections of resources. Happy surfing!

Currently, the UMP library is offering a trial access to this site http://isiknowledge.com. This is accessible until 3 September 2010.

There are some other websites that also support academic intellectuals. Articles obtained from these websites can also be considered as reliable and valid academic references: (1) http://www.engineeringvillage.com (2) @http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/ (3) @http://goldbook.iupac.org/index.html. However, take note that you might need a password to access some documents. In such a case, it means that you are not allowed to access it.
