VOCEDplus: new look and features
Have you seen VOCEDplus, our tertiary education research database lately? Not only does it have a fresh new look but we’ve also upgraded the search functionality to make it even easier to find the research you’re looking for.
If you’d like to find out more, join us on 21 May from 2.30-3.30pm AEST for a demonstration of the new search functionality; including guided, expert and glossary searches. We’re also providing a refresher on using VOCEDplus to discover current and past research, landmark reports, grey literature as well as a sneak peek of a prototype of theme-based information pages.
