We’re pleased to offer a one-month trial of Bloomsbury Research Right

This platform has been developed to support psychology students in building confidence with research methods and statistics. It covers a wide range of topics, from introductory concepts through to final year projects, all within psychology-focused contexts.

Research Right combines clear, bite-sized explanations with interactive exercises, helping you not only understand the theory but also apply it in practice. It can be particularly useful for reinforcing prior learning and supporting independent study.

You can access the platform via the Library’s A–Z list of databases, through the Subject Guides, or via the link https://shorturl.at/LOsw4 . When logging in, select University College Birmingham and create an account using your UCB email address.

We encourage you to explore the resource during the trial and share your feedback.

This month, we’re highlighting CareKnowledge as our e‑Resource of the Month – a comprehensive, evidence‑based digital platform designed to support learning, teaching, and professional development in social care.

Keeping up to date with policy, practice, and research in social care can be challenging – particularly when time is limited and reliable information is scattered across multiple sources. That’s where CareKnowledge comes in.

To access, visit https://www.careknowledge.com/ukfed/protected.aspx and select University College Birmingham as the institution.
