NLB Digital Library



If you don't already have a DL account, go register for one NOW. Click here to register. It's free!

Why register? A DL membership gives you access to an amazing plethora of e-resources from the comfort of your PC! A lot of these resources are subscription-based (very expensive subscriptions mind you) to most internet users but FREE for DL members - a mighty good deal huh?

For example, whenever you read about some scientific or medical breakthrough in the news, the scientists involved usually mention that their findings have been published in Nature or The Lancet both of which are highly regarded scholarly journals. And now available to you too!

LexisNexis contains a database of newspapers including our very own Straits Times.

Why am I telling you all this? Because these are quality online sources you should be focussing on in your research.

Edit
I realise that some of you are experiencing access issues with the databases. Hopefully it is due to the quirky security settings in the school workstations. If you still can't access the e-resources from home, I strongly encourage you to go down to a NLB branch closest to you and resolve it.
