Heriot-Watt staff and students will need your Heriot-Watt username and password to access most of our resources and help pages. Please see our Getting Connected guide to get set up.

Discovery

Discovery searches the library catalogue (all campuses), eBooks, journal articles and newspapers and is a useful place to start. You can enter search terms/keywords in the search box above.

Topic Searching with Discovery is a tutorial on how to get the most from Discovery when conducting your research.
