Finance

This guide will help you find quality resources for your finance studies and research.

Searching for ebooks

  • To search for university subscribed ebooks, go to the Library Catalogue 

  • Select Online Books from the right-hand drop-down menu

For more information on finding and accessing ebooks available through University of Melbourne subscriptions and online, go to the Ebooks library guide.

Finding prescribed texts for your subject

Your subject's readings can be found in the LMS (Canvas).

Click on the 'Readings Online' menu option on the left-hand side.

This will give you a list of readings for the subject - often the lecturer has divided them into weeks or topics. 

 

If you need any help with accessing the reading list for your subject, contact your lecturer.

 

Searching on your topic - Finance

Use the Library Catalogue to find resources, including ebooks, on a particular topic - you can search by either keyword or subject.

Searching by keyword:
  • Select Keyword from the left-hand drop-down menu

  • If searching for a particular phrase, put it in quotation marks (" "): eg "derivative securities"
  • To narrow a search, add more key terms: eg "financial institutions" and management
  • To increase the number of search results, use synonyms: eg (banks or "financial institutions") and management
  • The asterisk symbol (*) finds alternate word endings: eg bank* will search for bank, banks, banking, etc.
Searching by subject:
  • The catalogue has a classification system, where a number of terms (or 'subjects') are chosen to describe the content of an item
  • If you perform a subject search in the catalogue, then you will get a list of all items that belong to that subject
  • Select Subject from the left-hand drop-down menu

  • Enter a search term in the search box to see if there is a relevant subject term for it
  • You will find a list of suggested subject terms - click on one to access the list of items for that subject
