LibGuides: Research Services: Introduction

Finding Research Information

There are many appropriate resources that you can use to find relevant information to allow you to conduct your research and publish its outcomes. The Library website (www.ul.ie/library) contains links to important databases (see below). The UL Institutional Repository (ULIR) contains the University’s research publications and other research outputs.

The Library Search allows you to search for physical items in the Library but also searches most of the library's electronic resources as well as publications in the ULIR.
