This Guide, a collaboration between the Faculty of Science Work Health & Safety (WH&S) and the Library, will direct you to a wide range of sources available on lab safety, held by the Library or on reputable websites.
Specific lab safety information is not provided here. Instead reference should be made to guidelines, policies and procedures provided by your Department.
Keep up to date with research in your field by setting up a database search alert.
Citation alerts notifiy you by e-mail whenever a document or author has been cited by a new article.
Many databases offer email alerts for newly published journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers.
Two main types of journal alerts are:
You usually need to create an account for the database or website where you access the journal to create the alert. Most library databases provide alert services. Check database help pages for more information.
Most publishers and book sellers provide notification and recommendation services for their products and you can sign up for alerts.
The library also provides alerts for new books that have been added to the collection, which is available by RSS feed.
These sites provide information about upcoming conferences and events.
Also check relevant professional association websites for upcoming events, as these organisations often run conferences and workshops.
