Find resources
Search resources
Discovery searches the library catalogue (all campuses), eBooks, journal articles and newspapers. You can enter search terms/keywords in the search box.
Topic Searching with Discovery is a tutorial on how to get the most from Discovery when conducting your research.
Discovery does not search all of our resources and Heriot-Watt students and staff should refer to the Skills Hub Guide: Resources to see the full range of resources available and help on how to use them.
