Books

In general, related books can be found on the 7th floor of the library:

Human Resources: HF5548.8 - HF5549.5
Labour: HD4801 - HD8943

To identify books on your topic in the Library Catalogue, use the "keywords" option. Enter keywords such as "personnel management" or "employee benefits". You may want to use Boolean Searching  techniques to make your search more efficient. For example:

Topic:  how to motivate employees

Strategy: motivat* and employee*

Using "and" will find every item in the catalogue that has both the words "motivation" and "employee" in it. The asterisk (*) acts like a wild card to find different endings. "motivat*" will find "motivation", "motivate", and "motivating". "Employee*" will find both singular and plural, i.e., "employee" and "employees" .

Please note that the term "personnel management" is more effective in searching our catalogue than "human resources".

Videos

All videos are listed in the library catalogue. Search by keyword as follows. Example:
teamwork and videorecording
You can also limit your search to videos, or other types of av material, by choosing the "Limit this search" option at the top of the screen. Then select material type, and choose the desired format. For further information, contact Audio-Visual Services.
