1. Look at the categories of guides (there is a description of each category in the category listing), then select the category that best meets your interest and review the titles in that category. Remember each title does describe the nature of the guide, and you can view the summary and example of each guide.

2. If you know the category, but there are too many titles to scan, you can then apply the key word list to that category.

3. To search the whole site select the ‘whole site’ search, then you can use keywords or authors or title or a more general subject search.

Remember, if the guide you want is not there contact us and we will look to get it for you.

Guides in one topic or category can be kept together in one file and so become a ‘manual’ on that topic.
