Entrepreneurship

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 "entrepreneurial finance"
• To narrow a search, add more key terms: eg "small business" and entrepreneurship
• To increase the number of search results, use synonyms: eg ("entrepreneurial finance" or "equity crowdfunding" or investments) and "small business"
• The asterisk symbol (*) finds alternate word endings: eg entrepreneur* will search for entrepreneur, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial, entrepreneurship, 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

You can browse the shelves of the General and High Use collections in the Giblin Eunson Library to find books on entrepreneurship:
