The Online Search Engine is also another important tool that I always use when starting a new topic/strand in my practise, which allows me to gather my thoughts and generate ideas that will lend to my studio practise.

Using a number of keywords that are directly linked to my work, I looked up a number of titles housed in the schools library (as well as in other colleges) that will allow me to form a starting point for my work. This is then used alongside a comprehensive web search in order to fulfil the critical stance within my work. I this way I feel more confident in then delving into the practical side of work knowing that I have significant theoretical knowledge to back up my ideas.
