PHYS 2080 - Physics Seminar: About this Guide

Search for scientific literature effectively

Guide Objectives

This guide is developed for PHYS 2080 students as a starting point to finding relevant information for your research. It is not a comprehensive subject guide but lists selective materials that are most useful for locating information in Physics.

Suppose you have to do a research project on a topic you propose, for example:

What is black hole and how it is created?

In this subject guide, you will learn to:

  • Understand the information strategies for research assignment/process
  • Select appropriate search tools and how best to search them
  • Evaluate information sources based on reliability and suitability, and
  • Create in-text reference and bibliography
If you have any problems finding relevant information, please feel free to reach our librarians at the reference desk (Library G/F) and/or lbref@ust.hk.
