We have a wealth of information relating to architects and their projects and buildings, a lot of this information is held within our print collection of architectural related journals on the third floor of the library. Unless you have been given a specific reference to where information has been published it can be difficult to trace this information via Library Search, as information in print journals that are not available electronically are not indexed.
I usually use and suggest the RIBA catalogue for tracing this type of content, as they do index their print journal collection. You can then cross reference with the journal titles that we hold to find the relevant information. I have created a short clip to demonstrate how you can use the RIBA catalogue to this effect:

Time for some re-growth and regeneration
The library has been going through a regenerative phase over the Summer and we can't wait to unveil it for you all to enjoy. Thank you for bearing with us, it won't be long now...
Why don't you take the opportunity to improve your research skills by attending some of our sessions scheduled throughout semester one. Topics include using Library Search to improve your marks, Referencing skills and a new addition delivered by our very knowledgeable Archive's team on using the Archive for architectural research. More details on sessions can be found here:
