Starting points for research

Databases are useful resources to search for good quality subject-specific research and find journal articles on a topic.

You will need your Single Sign On (the same as for Blackboard and MyDMU) to access them within and outside the university.

IEEE Xplore Digital Library

AES E-Library

This publication requires a unique username and password. Please refer to the library website to view this login. You will need to select the SAML login option and proceed using your Single Sign On details at the next screen.

The Audio Engineering Society is the only professional society devoted exclusively to audio technology. Founded in the United States in 1948, the AES has grown to become an international organisation that unites audio engineers, creative artists, scientists and students worldwide by promoting advances in audio and disseminating new knowledge and research.
