1. User guide
The resources provided here can be divided into two clear categories – those which are freely available online, and
those which require the researcher to be an on-campus guest of the University of Southampton Hartley Library.
University of Southampton | Learn, discover, develop & create. University of Southampton guide to research 4
• Use the photocopiers*
Students visiting as part of the Learn with US programme will not be able to:
• Borrow books or other resources
Copyright Law
For each student:
• Journals – you can only copy or download one article from any one issue
• Published work – you are only entitled to photocopy one full chapter, or extracts totalling no more than 5%
of the book
• You may only make single copies of any resource
• Any digital copies must not be placed on a network
Please note breaching copyright law is a legal offence.
Journals
Journals are a good source of more recent information, as well as serving as archives of past research. They are
often published monthly, and serve as a forum for researchers to publish their latest findings. Most journals are
subscription only, but visiting the Hartley Library as part of the Learn with US programme will enable you to gain
access to electronic copies of them. TDNet is the University of Southampton’s journal catalogue and will enable
you to search through all of the journals to which the University subscribes. JSTOR is another important catalogue
of journals from all subject disciplines, which can be accessed once logged onto the University network. See the
academic skills guide Making the case for advice on effective search strategies.
Databases
Databases are huge online repositories of information. Some of these are freely available, but most will require you to
be logged in as a guest of the University. Links to these are highlighted in this guide. Again, reading the information
provided in the academic skills guide Making the case will help you search effectively through the enormous amount
of information stored within these databases.
* In order to use the computer printers and photocopiers, visitors need to pay to credit their account. This can be done using coins, bank
notes, debit or credit cards in the money loaders spread throughout the library. Either ask library staff for help with this, or follow this
link for guidance on the procedure: www.southampton.ac.uk/library/index.shtml
University of Southampton | Learn, discover, develop & create. University of Southampton guide to research 5
E-Books
These are either digitised copies of books used for teaching, or books produced specifically for use online. The
Hartley Library has a huge collection of digitised books which you can search for and read online rather than having
to find them on the shelves.
2. What is research?
Research is about seeking explanations and answers for the way things work in the world. It underlies the
development of society whether that is through new technology, medicine, communication or understanding the
relationship between nations and cultures.
Research allows you to pursue your interests, to learn something new and in depth, to sharpen your problem-solving
skills and to challenge yourself in new ways. It presents an opportunity to express your own opinion and views on
a topic that interests you, but also to investigate how your subject relates to and impacts upon a variety of arenas. It
may lead you to think differently or discover new insights, or change your views or those of other people.
Research is also very personal and highly creative. You will have your own style which you can develop, and you
are in charge of the topic, the material you discuss and the view you want to present on it. Researchers often feel a
huge sense of achievement at putting together the results of their work, finding unexpected information or results,
uncovering a new angle on a topic or making a new discovery.
Undertaking a research project will also provide you with a number of important transferable skills, such as
analytical and writing skills and time management, which will enable you to be successful both at university and in
the workplace.
University of Southampton | Learn, discover, develop & create. University of Southampton guide to research 6
There are some key points to bear in mind when beginning a research project:
• Planning is an essential part of the process as this will allow you to search out your material, and structure it in a
coherent and logical way.
• It is important that you decide on your argument or position before you begin to write-up, as the argument or
hypothesis is the basis of the outcome of your research and should provide the link between all the materials
you discuss.
• You must back up your argument or position with sound and relevant supporting evidence from a variety of
sources, just as a lawyer in a trial must make their case.
• In order to make a convincing case, it is essential that you indicate clearly where you find your material through
proper referencing.
You may like to look at the Learn with US academic skills guides, which will offer you advice on researching,
planning and writing about your chosen topic, and gives you tips on how to make your research and writing an
effective process.
The University of Southampton Guide to Research provides a gateway to resources, listed by academic subject. It will
provide you with links to sound academic sources for you to use as the basis of your research. This will enable you to
start your first major research project with confidence in the material you are examining.
Research can be immensely rewarding and satisfying and by undertaking your own project, you will open yourself to
a host of new opportunities to learn, discover, develop and create.

Parliament
The United Kingdom Parliament website has information about parliamentary business and the full text of bills
passing through parliament, Select Committee reports, Parliamentary Debates etc. There are useful ‘factsheets’
explaining parliamentary procedure, and research publications on topics of interest.
www.parliament.uk/
There is similar content on other web pages for the Scottish Parliament, and the Northern Ireland and Welsh
Assemblies.
Home Office
The Home Office is the lead government department for immigration and passports, drugs policy, counter-terrorism
and police. Their website highlights current issues and is organised by themes, e.g. anti-social behaviour.
www.homeoffice.gov.uk/
There is also an excellent Research and Statistics section.
www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/
Ministry of Justice
The Ministry of Justice was formed in 2007, taking over some of the work previously under the Home Office. Its work
spans criminal, civil and family justice, democracy, rights and the constitution, i.e. it is responsible for the justice
system – the courts, prison and probation services.
www.justice.gov.uk/
As with the Home Office, some of the more detailed publications can be found under ‘research’ and ‘statistics’.

Law Commission
The Law Commission is the statutory independent body created to keep the law under review and to recommend
reform where needed. The Law Commission’s own web pages house their reports from 1996 onwards. Most good law
libraries, including ours, will stock their earlier reports in paper. BAILII (see above) is currently digitising the older
reports, so check there first if you need an older one.
www.lawcom.gov.uk/
European Union
There are two main sites to use if you are looking for anything from the EU. Europa is the ‘Gateway to the European
Union’ and as such is quite immense. If you are looking for a particular theme or subject, the easiest approach is to
browse via the ‘Activities’ tab. Alternatively, either use Europa’s own search engine, or you may prefer to use Google
Advanced Search and limit your search by the domain europa.eu.
http://europa.eu/
If you want the law of the EU, its legislation and its case law, its treaties, directives, regulations and/or the full text
of the ‘OJ’ – the Official Journal of the European Union – begin your search with EUR-Lex, which is the official way to

International and Comparative Law
Most countries have some legal and/or governmental material on the web, but Worldlii: the World Legal
Information Institute provides an excellent starting point.
www.worldlii.org/
There are themes, e.g. Treaties, Law Reform, but most useful is the list of countries, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
Most will include links to legislation and courts, and guides to the legal systems of those countries.
www.worldlii.org/countries.html
Not sure where to start with your international or comparative law research?
Both LLRX and GlobaLex have useful guides on counties and on themes, e.g. A basic guide to international
environmental legal research, or Researching Australian law.
